Famous quotes containing the words national and/or steel:

    “Perhaps our national ambition to standardize ourselves has behind it the notion that democracy means standardization. But standardization is the surest way to destroy the initiative, to benumb the creative impulse above all else essential to the vitality and growth of democratic ideals.”
    —Ida M. Tarbell (1857–1944)

    Of messages that both hearts bear—
    Pure passion once, now purest hate....”
