Famous quotes containing the words national, parks and/or act:

    “What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “Perhaps our own woods and fields,—in the best wooded towns, where we need not quarrel about the huckleberries,—with the primitive swamps scattered here and there in their midst, but not prevailing over them, are the perfection of parks and groves, gardens, arbors, paths, vistas, and landscapes. They are the natural consequence of what art and refinement we as a people have.... Or, I would rather say, such were our groves twenty years ago.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “An act of God was defined as “something which no reasonable man could have expected.””
    —A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)
