National Fire Plan

Famous quotes containing the words national, fire and/or plan:

    I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Three things are never satisfied; four never say, “Enough”: Sheol, the barren womb, the earth ever thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, “Enough.”
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 30:15.

    Fix’d like a plan on his peculiar spot,
    To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
