Famous quotes containing the words heart and/or failure:
“Can love be controlled by advice?
Will Cupid our mothers obey?
Though my heart were as frozen as ice,
At his flame ‘twould have melted away.
When he kissed me so closely he pressed,
‘Twas so sweet that I must have complied:
So I thought it both safest and best
To marry, for fear you should chide.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights—that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
