Famous quotes containing the words county, state and/or fish:

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    What thou art is mine;
    Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
    One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
