Famous quotes containing the words step and/or higher:

Road from concrete walk above the shore
Brings sharply back something known long before
The miniature gaiety of seasides.”

“For my part, I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station . . . if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their woman.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
