Garden City Park

Famous quotes containing the words garden, city and/or park:

    These are thy wonders, Lord of love,
    To make us see we are but flowers that glide.
    Which when we once can finde and prove,
    Thou hast a garden for us where to bide.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?
    Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
