Famous quotes containing the words island and/or general:

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
