Forgotten Friends

Famous quotes containing the words forgotten and/or friends:

    “The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must not—will not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief.... Confederate soldiers and their descendants are to share with us and our descendants the destiny of America. Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Our concern for the loss of our friends is not always from a sense of their worth, but rather of our own need of them—and that we have lost some who had a good opinion of us.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
