Famous quotes containing the words city and/or government:
“Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Chile consents to do all we can reasonably demand. My regret is that our Government blustered and bullied. President [Benjamin] Harrison argued in his message like a prosecutor—made the most of the case against our weak sister. Forbearance, charity, friendship, arbitration should have been in our words and thoughts.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
