Famous quotes containing the words david and/or watts:

    A village seems thus, where its able-bodied men are all plowing the ocean together, as a common field. In North Truro the women and girls may sit at their doors, and see where their husbands and brothers are harvesting their mackerel fifteen or twenty miles off, on the sea, with hundreds of white harvest wagons, just as in the country the farmers’ wives sometimes see their husbands working in a distant hillside field. But the sound of no dinner-horn can reach the fisher’s ear.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Be thou our guard while troubles last,
    And our eternal home.
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
