Weston Burying Ground

Famous quotes containing the words weston, burying and/or ground:

    Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.
    —Maria Weston Chapman (1806–1885)

    Trying to conceal a crime is like burying a seed in the ground.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
