Native Courts

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or courts:

    If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    And about her courts were seen
    Liveried angels robed in green,
    Wearing, by St Patrick’s bounty,
    Emeralds big as half the county.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
