Famous quotes containing the words united states, move, united and/or states:

    The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    And knew that nature could not more refine
    What it had given in a looking-glass
    And held there, after the living body’s line
    Has moved wherever it must move ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    It is a united will, not mere walls, which makes a fort.
    Chinese proverb.

    Courage, then, for the end draws near! A few more years of persistent, faithful work and the women of the United States will be recognized as the legal equals of men.
    Mary A. Livermore (1821–1905)
