Landing Grounds

Famous quotes containing the words landing and/or grounds:

    I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
