Famous quotes containing the words free and/or standing:
“The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A counterfeiting law-factory, standing half in a slave land and half in a free! What kind of laws for free men can you expect from that?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
