Famous quotes containing the words resolution, adopted and/or congress:

    “The passions do very often give birth to others of a nature most contrary to their own. Thus avarice sometimes brings forth prodigality, and prodigality avarice; a man’s resolution is very often the effect of levity, and his boldness that of cowardice and fear.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    “We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
