Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    “America—rather, the United States—seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, overfriendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The schnuckle among the nations of the world.”
    —Edna Ferber (1887–1968)

    “A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”
    —Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
