Northern Wall

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or wall:

    Sophocles long ago
    Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
    Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
    Of human misery; we
    Find also in the sound a thought,
    Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    It is bad to be poor. I shall go to the wall for bread and meat, if I neglect my business this year as well as last.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
