Famous quotes containing the words state and/or park:

    Every country has its own constitution; ours is absolutism moderated by assassination.
    —Anonymous Russian. Quoted in Count Münster, Political Sketches of the State of Europe 1814-1867 (1868)

    Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
