National Colors

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or colors:

    Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men’s language. Of course women learn it. We’re not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man’s world, so it talks a man’s language.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
