Famous quotes containing the words early and/or states:

    “Betwixt the black fronts long-withdrawn
    A light-blue lane of early dawn,”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
