Boys State

Famous quotes containing the words boys and/or state:

“I have ventured
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride
At length broke under me and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream that must forever hide me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Though seen but once, it helps to wash out State Street and the engine’s soot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
