Famous quotes containing the words ages, consent and/or asia:
“So forth and brighter fares my stream,—
Who drink it shall not thirst again;
No darkness stains its equal gleam,
And ages drop in it like rain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it’s also the only thing that’s ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
