Famous quotes containing the words future, spot and/or price:
“In no nation are the institutions of progress more advanced. In no nation are the fruits of accomplishment more secure. In no nation is the government more worthy of respect.

—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“O leave this barren spot to me!
Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree.”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
