Famous quotes containing the words named and/or activities:

    There was a young lady named Bright,
    Who traveled much faster than light.
    Arthur Buller (1874–1944)

    As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
