Medford Lakes

Famous quotes containing the words medford and/or lakes:

    No. We haven’t seen the end of them. We’ve only had a close view of the beginning of what may be the end of us.
    —Ted Sherdeman. Gordon Douglas. Dr. Medford (Edmund Gwenn)

    I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? We walk to lakes to see our serenity reflected in them; when we are not serene, we go not to them. Who can be serene in a country where both the rulers and the ruled are without principle? The remembrance of my country spoils my walk. My thoughts are murder to the State, and involuntarily go plotting against her.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
