Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    “While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    “Poor shad! where is thy redress? When Nature gave thee instinct, gave she thee the heart to bear thy fate? Still wandering the sea in thy scaly armor to inquire humbly at the mouths of rivers if man has perchance left them free for thee to enter.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
