Public Banks

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or banks:

    But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon,
    How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
    Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
    That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
    Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
    Departed never to return.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
