Famous quotes containing the word distinguish:
“Since all things are good, men fail at last to distinguish which is the bane and which the antidote.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to distinguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
