Famous quotes containing the words houses and/or europe:

    “You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
    —Anthony Henley (d. 1745)

    “The Cold War began with the division of Europe. It can only end when Europe is whole.”
    —George Bush (b. 1924)
