Famous quotes containing the words state and/or park:
“The state is a creation of nature and man is by nature a political animal.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
