Famous quotes containing the words political, action, committee and/or america:

    I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The curse of me & my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.
    —Consultative Committee On The Prima. Report of the Consultative Committee on the Primary School (HADOW)

    The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
