Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    “Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “It must be admitted that there are some parts of the soul which we must entirely paralyse before we can live happily in this world.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
