Famous quotes containing the words enterprise, service and/or bus:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in that bus in Montgomery, she’d still be standing.”
