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

    “I am not of the opinion generally entertained in this country [England], that man lives by Greek and Latin alone; that is, by knowing a great many words of two dead languages, which nobody living knows perfectly, and which are of no use in the common intercourse of life. Useful knowledge, in my opinion, consists of modern languages, history, and geography; some Latin may be thrown into the bargain, in compliance with custom, and for closet amusement.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “To Americans I hardly need to say,—
    “Westward the star of empire takes its way.””
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
    —Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)

    “We may be scum, but at least we’re la crème de la scum.”
    —Report on the British royal family. quoted in Sunday Times (London, Nov. 13, 1988)

    “Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
