Kane Began

Famous quotes containing the words kane and/or began:

    Where is the “unexplored land” but in our own untried enterprises? To an adventurous spirit any place—London, New York, Worcester, or his own yard—is “unexplored land,” to seek which Frémont and Kane travel so far. To a sluggish and defeated spirit even the Great Basin and the Polaris are trivial places.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But the cheerful Spring came kindly on
    And show’rs began to fall:
    John Barleycorn got up again
    And sore surpris’d them all.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
