State Spartans Men

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or men:

“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
