Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or township:

    “To Americans I hardly need to say,—
    “Westward the star of empire takes its way.””
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
