Famous quotes containing the words heritage, national and/or significance:

    “Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
    —Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

    “This is the first national administration we’ve ever seen where the housewife couldn’t afford to buy groceries and the farmer couldn’t afford to grow them.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “I am not afraid that I shall exaggerate the value and significance of life, but that I shall not be up to the occasion which it is.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
