Central States Pension

Famous quotes containing the words central, states and/or pension:

    My solitaria
    Are the meditations of a central mind.

    Of what is secret becomes, for me, a voice
    That is my own voice speaking in my ear.

    Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)

    It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
