Gained Town Status

Famous quotes containing the words gained, town and/or status:

    I’ve almost gained my heav’nly home; My spirit loudly sings;
    The holy ones behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.
    O come, angel band, Come and around me stand.
    O bear me away on your snowy wings, To my immortal home.
    T. Haskell, minister and hymn-writer. Published in Christian Harmony. “Angel Band,” l. 5-8.

    Mr. Mum’s Rudesheimer
    And the church of St. Geryon
    Are the two things alone
    That deserve to be known
    In the body-and-soul-stinking town of Cologne.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
    —A.J. (Arthur James)
