Old Howard Beach

Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or beach:

    I don’t know whither we are drifting, but I do know where every real thinking patriot will stand in the end, and that’s by the Constitution.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
