Famous quotes containing the words city and/or council:
“‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific.

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree

Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
