Captain Barton

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or barton:

    Now that I had heard a part of his history, he appeared singularly destitute,—a captain without any vessel, only a greatcoat! and that perhaps a borrowed one! Not even a dog followed him; only his title stuck to him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... it has always proved that the grandeur of a nation was shown by the respect paid to woman.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
