Famous quotes containing the words native and/or affairs:

“Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground:”

“There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.”
