Famous quotes containing the words nuclear and/or power:

    “The emotional security and political stability in this country entitle us to be a nuclear power.”
    —Ronald, Sir Mason (b. 1930)

    “Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
    And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
    And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
    But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
