Famous quotes containing the words americans and/or live:

    In some things, we Americans leave to other countries the carrying out of the principle that stands at the head of our Declaration of Independence.

    See the kind seed-receiving earth
    To every grain affords a birth:
    On her no showers unwelcome fall,
    Her willing womb retains ‘em all,
    And shall my Caelia be confined?
    No, live up to thy mighty mind,
    And be the mistress of Mankind!
