Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or walker:

    “The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “croppers rotting shacks
    with famine, terror, flood, and plague near by;
    where sentiment and hatred still held sway
    and only bitter land was washed away.”
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
