Famous quotes containing the words paxton and/or township:
“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, theyd be all right no matter what. But what I didnt reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I cant, I cant cope with it.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
“The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
