Famous quotes containing the words long and/or rural:

“So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism—despotism during the campaign—is indispensable.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
