Famous quotes containing the words allegiance, main, italian and/or cities:

    Mine honesty and I begin to square.
    The loyalty well held to fools does make
    Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
    To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
    Does conquer him that did his master conquer
    And earns a place i’ the story.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Observe this, that tho’ a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she’s still virtuous; that’s a maxim.
    George Farquhar (1678–1707)

    Until recently the word fascist was considered shameful. Fortunately, that period has passed. In fact, there is now a reassessment of how much grandpa Benito did for Italy.
    Alessandra Mussolini, Italian actor, politician, and medical student. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 19 (February 17, 1992)

    What care though rival cities soar
    Along the stormy coast,
    Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
    If Boston knew the most!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
