Famous quotes containing the words north, american and/or free:
“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department.

—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“If American politics are too dirty for women to take part in, there’s something wrong with American politics.”
—Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
“Everyone asks for freedom for himself,
The man free love, the businessman free trade,
The writer and talker free speech and free press.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
