Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or species:

    “Thou stately stream that with the swelling tide
    ‘Gainst London walls incessantly dost beat,
    Thou Thames, I say, where barge and boat doth ride,
    And snow-white swans do fish for needful meat:”
    —George Turberville (1821–1873)

    “Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
