Famous quotes containing the words country, birth and/or residents:

    “Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.”
    —John Gunther (1901–1970)

    “Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
    The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
    Hath had elsewhere its setting,
    And cometh from afar:”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.”
    —Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
