Famous quotes containing the words mill, race and/or park:

    “The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it ... a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes—will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “Before we shall again behold
    In his diurnal race the world’s great eye,
    We may as silent be and cold
    As are the shades where buried lovers lie.”
    —Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)

    “Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
    —Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
