Famous quotes containing the word public:

    “The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
    —In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
