Howard de Walden

Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or walden:

    She does not realize that the only difference between us is that she is on one stage and I on another. I feel that I am acting just as much as she is.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    The sturdy Irish arms that do the work are of more worth than oak or maple. Methinks I could look with equanimity upon a long street of Irish cabins, and pigs and children reveling in the genial Concord dirt; and I should still find my Walden Wood and Fair Haven in their tanned and happy faces.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
