Independence Day

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or day:

    In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    I take your arms boldly,
    each day a new excursion.
    Come, my sister,
    we are two virgins,
    our lives once more perfected
    and unused.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
