Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or capital:
“Individuals, like nations, must have suitable broad and natural boundaries, even a considerable neutral ground, between them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby’s woeful face or the venerable tower.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
