Sectional Strife

Famous quotes containing the words sectional and/or strife:

“It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

“The day in his hotness,
The strife with the palm;
The night in her silence,
The stars in their calm . . .”
