    “So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    “How many ages hence
    Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
    In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It almost seems that nobody can hate America as much as native Americans. America needs new immigrants to love and cherish it.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
