Fourth Column

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or column:

    “The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

    “Sleep sweetly in your humble graves,
    Sleep, martyrs of a fallen cause;
    Though yet no marble column craves
    The pilgrim here to pause.”
    —Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
