Sterling Township

Famous quotes containing the words sterling and/or township:

    Meet me in St. Louis, Louis,
    Meet me at the fair,
    Don’t tell me the lights are shining any place but there.
    —Andrew B. Sterling (1874–1955)

    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)
