Famous quotes containing the words david, lee and/or ingersoll:
“This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I don’t know how it is up North, of course, but down South there are times when Southern women feel a need for privacy.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
“Courage without conscience is a wild beast.”
—Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899)
