European Accord

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or accord:

“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
