Famous quotes containing the words country and/or codes:
“A house in the country is not the same as a country house.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
