Famous quotes containing the word founders:

    “A spot whereon the founders lived and died
    Seemed once more dear than life; ancestral trees,
    Or gardens rich in memory glorified
    Marriages, alliances, and families,
    And every bride’s ambition satisfied.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It was no wonder that her sons stood tall and straight. She was a rich mine of life, like the founders of early races.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison.”
    —Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
