Famous quotes containing the words heritage, national and/or significance:

    “Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
    —Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

    “Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
