Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    The rising power of the United States in world affairs ... requires, not a more compliant press, but a relentless barrage of facts and criticism.... Our job in this age, as I see it, is not to serve as cheerleaders for our side in the present world struggle but to help the largest possible number of people to see the realities of the changing and convulsive world in which American policy must operate.
    James Reston (b. 1909)

    Women, more than all, are the element and kingdom of illusion. Being fascinated, they fascinate.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
