Famous quotes containing the words north, star and/or township:

    The pure products of America go crazy—mountain folk from Kentucky or the ribbed north end of Jersey with its isolate lakes and valleys, its deaf-mutes, thieves.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
    That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
    As obstinacy, both in men and women,
    Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
    And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
    To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    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)
