Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:

    “Surely a gentle sister is the second best gift to a man; and it is first in point of occurrence; for the wife comes after.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers’ hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
