Famous quotes containing the words united and/or colonies:
“Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“What is music. A passion for colonies not a love of country.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
