Wind Pattern

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or pattern:

    “I have hardly begun to live on Staten Island yet; but, like the man who, when forbidden to tread on English ground, carried Scottish ground in his boots, I carry Concord ground in my boots and in my hat,—and am I not made of Concord dust? I cannot realize that it is the roar of the sea I hear now, and not the wind in Walden woods. I find more of Concord, after all, in the prospect of the sea, beyond Sandy Hook, than in the fields and woods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Each child is an adventure into a better life—an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
