American Love Songs

Famous quotes containing the words american, love and/or songs:

    It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.
    Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    I never failed to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away.
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
