Famous quotes containing the words cuban, league, golden and/or age:

    Because a person is born the subject of a given state, you deny the sovereignty of the people? How about the child of Cuban slaves who is born a slave, is that an argument for slavery?

    Half a league, half a league,
    Half a league onward,
    All in the valley of Death
    Rode the six hundred.

    For lust of knowing what should not be known,
    We take the Golden Road to Samarkand.
    James Elroy Flecker (1884–1915)

    No man can quite emancipate himself from his age and country, or produce a model in which the education, the religion, the politics, usages, and arts, of his times shall have no share.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
