Famous quotes containing the words national, historic and/or landmarks:

    In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people.

Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.
