Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “Among the interesting thing in camp are the boys. You recollect the boy in Captain McIlrath’s company; we have another like unto him in Captain Woodward’s. He ran away from Norwalk to Camp Dennison; went into the Fifth, then into the Guthries, and as we passed their camp, he was pleased with us, and now is “a boy of the Twenty-third.” He drills, plays officer, soldier, or errand boy, and is a curiosity in camp.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Who ran to help me when I fell,
    And would some pretty story tell,
    Or kiss the place to make it well?
    My mother.”
    —Ann Taylor (1782–1866)

    “I ... ran for Legislature [in 1832] ... and was beaten—the only time I have been beaten by the people.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
