Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “The journalists think that they cannot say too much in favor of such “improvements” in husbandry; it is a safe theme, like piety; but as for the beauty of one of these “model farms,” I would as lief see a patent churn and a man turning it. They are, commonly, places merely where somebody is making money, it may be counterfeiting.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
