Grand Falls Station

Famous quotes containing the words grand, falls and/or station:

    Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    The last sunbeam
    Lightly falls from the finished Sabbath,
    On the pavement here, and there beyond it is looking,
    Down a new-made double grave,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.
    Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
