Beautiful Quotes

Two of my favorite quotes of all time are as follows.


"The saddest words of tongue or pen; to know the things that might have been."
A slightly different version and I believe the original quote is:
"For of all sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these: "It might have been!"
John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892, American Quaker Poet and Ardent Advocate of the Abolition of Slavery.

"Here lies in Honored Glory, an American Soldier, known but to God."
Inscription on the tomb of the unknown soldier, Arlington Cemetery.

A. C. Smithson
