Careful

Famous quotes containing the word careful:

    These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion. The man who thinks that the perpetuity of slavery is essential to the existence of the Union, is unfit to be trusted. The deadliest enemy the Union has is slavery—in fact, its only enemy.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    And the footman sat upon the dining-table
    Holding the second housemaid on his knees
    Who had always been so careful while her mistress lived.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “So careful of the type?” but no.
    From scarped cliff and quarried stone
    She cries, “A thousand types are gone;
    I care for nothing, all shall go.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
