Famous quotes containing the words oak, ridge and/or national:

    “Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower—”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
