Plain Grove Township

Famous quotes containing the words plain, grove and/or township:

    They say it’s worse to be ugly. I think it must only be different. If you’re pretty, you are subject to one set of assaults; if you’re plain you are subject to another.
    Alix Kates Shulman (b. 1932)

    Bees don’t swarm in a mango grove for nothing.
    Where can you see a wisp of smoke
    without a fire?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    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)
