Concord

Famous quotes containing the word concord:

    I aspire to be acquainted with wiser men than this our Concord soil has produced, whose names are hardly known here.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to distinguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
