Austrian Left Wing

Famous quotes containing the words austrian, left and/or wing:

    The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Ae spring brought off her master hale,
    But left behind her ain grey tail:
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
