Famous quotes containing the words boundary and/or creek:

““Cursed be anyone who moves a neighbor’s boundary marker.” All the people shall say, “Amen!””
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 27:17.

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
