Coast Guard Air

Famous quotes containing the words coast, guard and/or air:

    I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Then the bird
    breaks with his beak the thread
    of dream within him,
    and the tree unrolls
    the shadow that will guard it
    throughout the day.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Old among the young, poor among the rich, I adopt an air of indefinable superiority.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
