Famous quotes containing the words henry, jackson and/or wilderness:

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Every tree sends its fibres forth in search of the Wild. The cities import it at any price. Men plow and sail for it. From the forest and wilderness come the tonics and barks which brace mankind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
