Famous quotes containing the words highway and/or system:

“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
