Famous quotes containing the words ancient, trade and/or route:

    “Thou art not, Penshurst, built to envious show,
    Of touch or marble; nor canst boast a row
    Of polished pillars, or a roof of gold;
    Thou hast no lantern whereof tales are told,
    Or stair, or courts; but stand’st an ancient pile,”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “Experience has shown that the trade of the East is the key to national wealth and influence.”
    —Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)

    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
