Neptune Township

Famous quotes containing the words neptune and/or township:

    His nature is too noble for the world;
    He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,
    Or Jove for’s power to thunder.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
