Famous quotes containing the words state and/or emblem:

    “The essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state.... It is only when both these moments subsist in their strength that the state can be regarded as articulated and genuinely organized.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “You’re the emblem of
    The land I love,
    The home of the free and the brave.”
    —George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
