Letter Marks

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or marks:

    “I have been thinking this half hour how to begin my letter and cannot for my soul make it out. I wish to the Lord one could write a letter without any beginning for I am sure it allways puzzles me more than all the rest of it.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “I regard almost all quarrels of princes on the same footing, and I see nothing that marks man’s unreason so positively as war. Indeed, what folly to kill one another for interests often imaginary, and always for the pleasure of persons who do not think themselves even obliged to those who sacrifice themselves for them!”
    —Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
