Famous quotes containing the words american and/or committee:

    Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.
    C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)

    What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.
