Famous quotes containing the words measure, soft and/or power:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down,
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“You are evil. But even the power of evil cannot stand against the power of faith and goodness.”
—Griffin Jay, and Randall Faye. Lew Landers. Lady Jane Ainsley (Frieda Inescort)
