Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or empire:

    “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
    —Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)

    “Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
    —William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)
