Famous quotes containing the words leacock and/or township:

    Lord Ronald said nothing; he flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.
    —Stephen Leacock (1869–1944)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
