Popular Death Reporters

Famous quotes containing the words popular, death and/or reporters:

    For those that love the world serve it in action,
    Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
    And should they paint or write, still it is action:
    The struggle of the fly in marmalade.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I shall die as my fathers died, and sleep as they sleep; even so.

    For there is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
