Famous quotes containing the words west and/or township:
“Out where the handclasp’s a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That’s where the West begins.”
—Arthur Chapman (1873–1935)
“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)
