City Quotes
It's actually from the Sermon on the Mount, and then it was picked up by John Winthrop, who was the leader of the Puritan Great Migration in 1630, and gave a sermon in which he says 'we shall be as a city on the hill, and the eyes of all nations will be upon us.' And it inspired me to look back at people who have been relegated to the second rank of historical players, but who I felt were important in terms of the ideals they introduced to our culture.
