Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or bay:
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)

Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
