National Place

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or place:

“It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
