 Citizenship Quotes
Citizenship comes first today in our crowded
world…No man can enjoy the privileges of
education and thereafter with a clear
conscience break his contract with society.
To respect that contract is to be mature, to
strengthen it is to be a good citizen, to do
more than your share under it is noble. -
Isaiah Bowman
