Famous quotes containing the words fore, street, towns and/or villages:
“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“The poor in bustling towns aren’t called upon, but the rich deep in the mountains have relatives visiting them from afar.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
