The finance enchains with golden bonds states and peoples, the economy becomes nomadic, the life uprooted.
Alfred Rosenberg
I believe that there are human stocks with whom it is physically unwise to intermarry, but to think that these stocks are all colored or that there are no such white stocks is unscientific and false.
W. E. B. DuBois

Peter Schiff
The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own heroes — ideals for heroes — and they don't need to be told elaborate lies.
Jessica Lynch
After insuring on these principles the healthfulness of the future city... the next thing to do is to lay the foundations for the towers and walls. Dig down to solid bottom, if it can be found, and lay them therein, going as deep as the magnitude of the proposed work seems to require. They should be much thicker than the part of the walls that will appear above ground and their structure should be as solid as it can possibly be laid.
