Famous quotes containing the words jump and/or river:

    Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
    With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
