Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    It does seem strange that the only place in the government which I would have liked to fill myself I am forced to give to another.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Then a soldier,
    Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
    Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
    Seeking the bubble reputation
    Even in the cannon’s mouth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
