Read more about this topic: Balham Station Famous quotes containing the words national, rail and/or station:“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.” “For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.” “To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.” | |
