Famous quotes containing the words frederick and/or stokes:

    Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
    Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;

    Bravest of all in Frederick town,
    She took up the flag the men hauled down;
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Some pray to marry the man they love,
    My prayer will somewhat vary;
    I humbly pray to Heaven above
    That I love the man I marry.
