    “I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Mormon colonization south of this point in early times was characterized as “going over the Rim,” and in colloquial usage the same phrase came to connote violent death.”
    —State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
