Famous quotes containing the words public and/or citizen:

    And when we get too far apart in wealth,
    ‘Twas his idea that for the public health,
    So that the poor won’t have to steal by stealth,
    We now and then should take an equalizer.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Wherever the citizen becomes indifferent to his fellows, so will the husband be to his wife, and the father of a family toward the members of his household.
    Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
