Famous quotes containing the words williams and/or expedition:

    We are only mortal
    but being mortal
    can defy our fate.
    We may
    by an outside chance
    even win!
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
