Citizens Quotes
-
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me.
Walt Whitman
-
In some ways Jews and the various largely Catholic and often poor European immigrant groups were "white," as the historian Tom Guglielmo has recently put it, "on arrival." Where naturalization law was concerned, for example, ample precedents recognized their ability to become citizens, a right explicitly resting on their "whiteness." But they also remained, as Working toward Whiteness puts it, "on trial" for a harrowingly long time.
David Roediger

Since the whole city has one end, it is manifest that education should be one and the same for all, and that it should be public, and not private - not as at present, when every one looks after his own children separately, and gives them separate instruction of the sort which he thinks best; the training in things which are of common interest should be the same for all. Neither must we suppose that any one of the citizens belongs to himself, for they all belong to the state, and are each of them a part of the state, and the care of each part is inseparable from the care of the whole.
Aristotle
-
I think people know very little, really, about the court, how it works and its history. And both of those things are important in our country, but they're not things that most citizens know much about.
Sandra Day O'Connor
-
No government can be free that does not allow all its citizens to participate in the formation and execution of her laws.
Thaddeus Stevens
-
Congress is responsible for everything and unable to do anything, hated by the public creditors, insulted by the soldiers and unsupported by the citizens.
Benjamin Hawkins
-
But now behold,
In the quick forge and working-house of thought,
How London doth pour out her citizens!
William Shakespeare
-
When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.
George Washington
-
At this auspicious period, the United States came into existence as a Nation; and if their Citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.
George Washington
