Famous quotes containing the words wheeler and/or island:

    “We hate those who will not take our advice, and despise them who do.”
    —Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)

    “We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
