Port Adelaide Announced

Famous quotes containing the words port and/or announced:

    It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    On September 16, 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
