Famous quotes containing the words treasury and/or history:

“The treasury of America lies in those ambitions and those energies that cannot be restricted to a special, favored class.

Every country is renewed out of the ranks of the unknown, not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
