Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell and/or symbol:

    There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to take liberties as liberty itself.

    Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel’s just got his wings.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

    The symbol of perpetual youth, the grass-blade, like a long green ribbon, streams from the sod into the summer, checked indeed by the frost, but anon pushing on again, lifting its spear of last year’s hay with the fresh life below. It grows as steadily as the rill oozes out of the ground.... So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
