American Children

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or children:

    No man is good enough to govern another man, without that other’s consent. I say this is the leading principle—the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Our Germany’s dead. However hard this may be for some of us older people, it’s a blessing for our children. Our children grew up against new backgrounds, new horizons. And they are free. Free to grow up as children. Free to run and to laugh without being forced into uniforms. Without being forced to march up and down streets, singing battle songs.
    Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)
