Famous quotes containing the words ingersoll, amusement and/or parks:

    “Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.”
    —Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899)

    “Business is, emphatically, the amusement of Americans, and, to be in keeping with their character, every thing written for their amusement should partake of the useful.”
    —H., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine (February 1828)

    “Perhaps our own woods and fields,—in the best wooded towns, where we need not quarrel about the huckleberries,—with the primitive swamps scattered here and there in their midst, but not prevailing over them, are the perfection of parks and groves, gardens, arbors, paths, vistas, and landscapes. They are the natural consequence of what art and refinement we as a people have.... Or, I would rather say, such were our groves twenty years ago.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
