Famous quotes containing the words joined, city and/or country:

    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    “A city built upon mud;
    A culture built upon profit;
    Free speech nipped in the bud,
    The minority always guilty.
    Why should I want to go back
    To you, Ireland, my Ireland?”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.”
