Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or ford:

    Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
    Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    Climb every mountain, ford every stream
    Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
