Independence Mountain

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or mountain:

“A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away.”

“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
