Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or criticism:

“The higher the moral tone, the more suspect the speaker.”

“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
