Woodworth Lake

Famous quotes containing the words woodworth and/or lake:

    How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
    When fond recollection presents them to view!
    The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
    And every loved spot which my infancy knew,
    —Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)

    They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
