Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or conductors:
“I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station. And ... if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their women.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
