Famous quotes containing the word coach:

    “There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate.

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
