Famous quotes containing the word assured:
“If to be venerated for benevolence, if to be admired for talents, if to be esteemed for patriotism, if to be beloved for philanthropy, can gratify the human mind, you must have the pleasing consolation to know that you have not lived in vain.

—George Washington (17321799)

Mans practically inexterminate.

Theres always been an Ararat
Where someone someone else begat
To start the world all over at.”
