Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or china:
“When your fathers fixed the place of GOD,
And settled all the inconvenient saints,
Apostles, martyrs, in a kind of Whipsnade,
Then they could set about imperial expansion
Accompanied by industrial development.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.”
