Famous quotes containing the words white, rose and/or society:
“Things that we do
‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
Certainly keep us notorious.”

“O friend, my bosom said,
Through thee alone the sky is arched,
Through thee the rose is red,
All things through thee take nobler form,
And look beyond the earth,
And is the mill-round of our fate
A sun-path in thy worth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But to most of us society shows not its face and eye, but its side and back. To stand in true relations with men in a false age is worth a fit of insanity, is it not?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
