Famous quotes containing the words wilderness and/or pledge:
“What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Taking the pledge will not make bad liquor good, but it will improve it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
