Point Patton

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or patton:

    I have come to a still, but not a deep center,
    A point outside the glittering current;
    My eyes stare at the bottom of a river,

    He was one whose glory was an inner glory, one who placed culture above prosperity, fairness above profit, generosity above possessions, hospitality above comfort, courtesy above triumph, courage above safety, kindness above personal welfare, honor above success.
