Highest Increase

Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or increase:

“The Gettysburg speech is at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history. Put beside it, all the whoopings of the Websters, Sumners and Everetts seem gaudy and silly. It is eloquence brought to a pellucid and almost gem-like perfection—the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
