Famous quotes containing the words territorial and/or waters:

    I have an intense personal interest in making the use of American capital in the development of China an instrument for the promotion of the welfare of China, and an increase in her material prosperity without entanglements or creating embarrassment affecting the growth of her independent political power, and the preservation of her territorial integrity.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
