Famous quotes containing the words party and/or rock:
“When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a mans moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“When the rock was hid by the surges swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And blessd the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
—Robert Southey (17741843)
