Famous quotes containing the words port and/or republic:

    “How happy is the sailor’s life,
    From coast to coast to roam;
    In every port he finds a wife,
    In every land a home.”
    —Isaac Bickerstaffe (c. 1735–1812)

    “I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
