Famous quotes containing the words body and/or platform:
“For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
