Famous quotes containing the word background:

    In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
