Famous quotes containing the words national, recreation and/or area:
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
