Famous quotes containing the word greater:
“We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically.

It can still happen.”

the greater the deposit,
the greater the love.”
