Famous quotes containing the words native and/or iron:
“But, depend upon it, you will love your native hills the better for being separated from them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
