Famous quotes containing the words million and/or birds:
“When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?”

“Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said Fie;
So vain desire was chidden—”
—Anthony Munday (1553–1633)
