State Dance

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or dance:

    Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the labor interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

    Never pipe could ever play
    Better shepherd’s roundelay.
