Famous quotes containing the words pierce and/or county:

    Who will go drive with Fergus now,
    And pierce the deep wood’s woven shade,
    And dance upon the level shore?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
