Famous quotes containing the word country:
“Foster the labor of our country by an undeviating metallic currency ... always recollecting that if labor is depressed neither commerce nor manufactures can flourish, as they are both based upon the production of labor, produced from the earth, or the mineral world.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“That is no country for old men. The young
In one another’s arms, birds in the trees
MThose dying generations—at their song,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
