Famous quotes containing the words leading, citizen and/or concord:
“It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions.... Spacious avenues, that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere; streets, mile-long, that only want houses, roads, and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete; and ornaments of great thoroughfares, which only lack great thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“I am a citizen of the world.”
—Sylvia Beach (1887–1962)
“I aspire to be acquainted with wiser men than this our Concord soil has produced, whose names are hardly known here.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
