Memorable

Famous quotes containing the word memorable:

    Henothing common did, or mean,
    Upon the memorable Scene:
    But with his keener Eye
    The Axes edge did try:
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more
    John Adams (1735–1826)

    One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
