Famous quotes containing the words western and/or division:
“It is so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace and safety, which all the great powers habitually observe and enforce in matters affecting them, that a shorter water way between our eastern and western seaboards should be dominated by any European government, that we may confidently expect that such a purpose will not be entertained by any friendly power.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
