Republic National

Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or national:

“Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.”
