Famous quotes containing the words native and/or american:
“O native country, repossessed by thee!
For, rather than Ill to the West return,
Ill beg of thee first here to have mine urn.
Weak I am grown, and must in short time fall;
Give thou my sacred relics burial.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“[The ladies] must be aware that a great evil cannot for a long time, predominate, without, at least, their connivance. Silence is often as effectual an advocate in a cause as eloquence.”
—Censor, U.S. womens magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 337-340 (August, 1828)
