Famous quotes containing the words forces and/or attacked:
“In literary circles, the men of trust and consideration, bookmakers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, too, were by no means men of the largest literary talent, but usually of a low and ordinary intellectuality, with a sort of mercantile activity and working talent. Indifferent hacks and mediocrities tower, by pushing their forces to a lucrative point, or by working power, over multitudes of superior men, in Old as in New England.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“My political enemies I can freely forgive; but as for who abused me when I was serving my country in the field, and those who attacked me for serving my countryDoctor, that is a different case.”
—Andrew Jackson (17671845)
