“It is a curious thing to be a woman in the Caribbean after you have been a woman in these United States.”

“America—rather, the United States—seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, overfriendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The schnuckle among the nations of the world.”
—Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share.

—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“Colonel, never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.”
