Weston Town

Famous quotes containing the words weston and/or town:

    Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.
    —Maria Weston Chapman (1806–1885)

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
