Famous quotes containing the words city and/or councils:
“Union of the weakest develops strength
Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge
One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn?
But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
