Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or residents:

“Martyrdom ... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.”
