Famous quotes containing the word concord:

    “Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
