Famous quotes containing the word founded:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“... in no part of the world is genteel visiting founded on esteem, in the absence of suitable furniture and complete dinner-service.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“No decent career was ever founded on a public.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
