Famous quotes containing the words broad street, broad and/or street:

    “Through this broad street, restless ever,
    Ebbs and flows a human tide,
    Wave on wave a living river;
    Wealth and fashion side by side;
    Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “The hearts that would have given their blood like water,
    Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar.
    Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand:
    But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.”
    —John Galt (1877–1957)

    “The street is full of humiliations to the proud.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
