Famous quotes containing the words heritage, national and/or significance:

    “It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
    —Calvin Trillin (20th century)

    “Mr. Speaker, at a time when the nation is again confronted with necessity for calling its young men into service in the interests of National Security, I cannot see the wisdom of denying our young women the opportunity to serve their country.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.”
    —Marlon Brando (b. 1924)
