Famous quotes containing the words native and/or people:
“I wonder that we Americans love our country at all, it having no limits and no oneness; and when you try to make it a matter of the heart, everything falls away except one’s native State;Mneither can you seize hold of that, unless you tear it out of the Union, bleeding and quivering.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
“...I have not found that the people who cling to the letter are always the people who cling to the spirit of the law.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
