Famous quotes containing the words united, kingdom and/or changing:
“Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody’s image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 13:44.
“The distempers of the soul have their relapses, as many and as dangerous as those of the body; and what we take for a perfect cure is generally either an abatement of the same disease or the changing of that for another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
