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

    “OUR Latin books in motly row,
    Invite us to our task—
    Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
    Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
    No higher skill we ask:
    This ranks all other lore above—
    We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “The British blockade won the war; but the wonder is that the British blockhead did not lose it. I suppose the enemy was no wiser. War is not a sharpener of wits.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “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)
