Famous quotes containing the words huron and/or road:
“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell.

The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England.”
