Famous quotes containing the word cities:

    “What care though rival cities soar
    Along the stormy coast,
    Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
    If Boston knew the most!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
