Famous quotes containing the words port and/or republic:

    “Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
    It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
    But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
    A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
    Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
    Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
    O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “No republic is more real than that of letters, and I am the last in principles, as I am the least in pretensions to any dictatorship in it.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
