Portugal Grand Cross

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or cross:

    A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.
