Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or owen:

    “We have our difficulties, true; but we are a wiser and a tougher nation than we were in 1932. Never have there been six years of such far flung internal preparedness in all of history. And this has been done without any dictator’s power to command, without conscription of labor or confiscation of capital, without concentration camps and without a scratch on freedom of speech, freedom of the press or the rest of the Bill of Rights.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Soldiers may grow a soul when turned to fronds,
    But here the thing’s best left at home with friends.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
