National Union of Rail

Famous quotes containing the words national, union and/or rail:

    “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)

    “Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
    The union of this ever-diverse pair!
    These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
    Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    “For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
