Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or day:

    “Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “One day beside some flowers near his nose
    He will be thinking, When will I look at it?
    And pain, still in the middle distance, will reply,
    At what? and he will know it’s gone,
    O where! and begin to tremble and cry.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
