Votes/culture

Famous quotes containing the words votes and/or culture:

    “Yet do not I invite
    The wrinkled shopman to my sounding woods,
    Nor bid the unwilling senator
    Ask votes of thrushes in the solitudes.
    Every one to his chosen work.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
