Famous quotes containing the words important and/or people:

    There is no passion more dominant and instinctive in the human spirit than the need of the country to which one belongs.... The time comes when nothing in the world is so important as a breath of one’s own particular climate. If it were one’s last penny it would be used for that return passage.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Cursed be anyone who moves a neighbor’s boundary marker.” All the people shall say, “Amen!”
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 27:17.
