Smaller States

Famous quotes containing the words smaller and/or states:

    Among the smaller duties of life I hardly know any one more important than that of not praising where praise is not due.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    When some one remarked that, with the addition of a chaplain, it would have been a perfect Cromwellian troop, he observed that he would have been glad to add a chaplain to the list, if he could have found one who could fill that office worthily. It is easy enough to find one for the United States Army. I believe that he had prayers in his camp morning and evening, nevertheless.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
