Famous quotes containing the words united and/or councils:
“I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
—Austin Clarke (1896–1974)
