Sheridan Report

Famous quotes containing the words sheridan and/or report:

    “Here is the steed that saved the day,
    By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
    From Winchester, twenty miles away!”
    Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)

    Where I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking. They are loaded with opinion, moral thoughts, quick evaluations, youthful hopes and cares and sorrows. Occasionally, they manage to report something in exquisite honesty and accuracy. That is why I have refrained from burning them.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
