Famous quotes containing the words latin, americans, acquiring, british and/or citizenship:

    “But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
    Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
    And travelling often in the cut he makes,
    Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
    And all their botany is Latin names.
    The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Southerners, whose ancestors a hundred years ago knew the horrors of a homeland devastated by war, are particularly determined that war shall never come to us again. All Americans understand the basic lessons of history: that we need to be resolute and able to protect ourselves, to prevent threats and domination by others.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There’s nothing the British like better than a bloke who comes from nowhere, makes it, and then gets clobbered.”
    —Melvyn Bragg (b. 1939)

    “To see self-sufficiency as the hallmark of maturity conveys a view of adult life that is at odds with the human condition, a view that cannot sustain the kinds of long-term commitments and involvements with other people that are necessary for raising and educating a child or for citizenship in a democratic society.”
    —Carol Gilligan (20th century)
