Golden Circle (proposed Country)
The Golden Circle was an unrealized pan-Caribbean political alliance of the 1850s, organized chiefly by United States adventurers, which may have been inspired by the Burr conspiracy of 1806. It envisioned the incorporation of several countries and states of the Americas into a federal union similar to the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or circle:
“Love took up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands;
Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.
Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with
might;
Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.”
—Ellen Terry (1847–1928)
