Famous quotes containing the words planned, capital and/or cities:
““If little planned is little sinned
But little need the grave distress.
What’s dying but a second wind?
How but in zig-zag wantonness
Could trumpeter Michael be so brave?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give.”

“Over the tree-tops I float thee a song,
Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the
prairies wide,
Over the dense-packed cities all and the teeming wharves and ways,
I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee, O death,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
