Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or environment:

    “Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
