Famous quotes containing the words national and/or road:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I wonder how far down the road he’s got.
He’s watching from the woods as like as not.”
