General Cemetery Company

Famous quotes containing the words general, cemetery and/or company:

    No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The cemetery isn’t really a place to make a statement.
    Mary Elizabeth Baker, U.S. cemetery committee head. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 15 (June 13, 1988)

    “Come, boys, I know there’s kindly hearts among so good a
    crowd—
    To be in such good company would make a deacon proud.
    Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
