Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or grove:

    “If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Bees don’t swarm in a mango grove for nothing.
    Where can you see a wisp of smoke
    without a fire?”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
