Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    “I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
