Restored Swiss Confederacy

Famous quotes containing the words restored, swiss and/or confederacy:

    The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    You know there’s only two things more beautiful than a good gun—a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere.
    Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)

    Every diminution of the public burdens arising from taxation gives to individual enterprise increased power and furnishes to all the members of our happy confederacy new motives for patriotic affection and support.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
