Famous quotes containing the words cities, towns and/or banks:

    Over the tree-tops I float thee a song,
    Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the
    prairies wide,
    Over the dense-packed cities all and the teeming wharves and ways,
    I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee, O death,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The incessant repetition of the same hand-work dwarfs the man, robs him of his strength, wit, and versatility, to make a pin- polisher, and buckle-maker, or any other specialty; and presently, in a change of industry, whole towns are sacrificed like ant-hills, when cotton takes the place of linen, or railways of turnpikes, or when commons are inclosed by landlords.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.
    Jon Wynne-Tyson (b. 1924)
