Famous quotes containing the words march and/or alliance:

    Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories of man over his necessities, his march to the dominion of the world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
