Famous quotes containing the words free and/or city:
“There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
