Famous quotes containing the words china and/or open:
“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
