Famous quotes containing the words campbell, island and/or sheep:
“O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there,
To waft us home the message of despair?”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Better to repair the pen after the sheep have escaped than not at all.”
—Chinese proverb.
