Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“The United States is not a nation to which peace is a necessity.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
