Famous quotes containing the words national and/or spelling:

“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.”

“We drove the Indians out of the land,
But a dire revenge those Redmen planned,
For they fastened a name to every nook,
And every boy with a spelling book
Will have to toil till his hair turns gray
Before he can spell them the proper way.”
—Eva March Tappan (1854–1930)
