How could a peaceable, freethinking man live neighbor to the Forty-ninth Regiment? A New-Englander would naturally be a bad citizen, probably a rebel, there,—certainly if he were already a rebel at home.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 30:23.

The consultative councils, the standing committees, select committees and sub-committees.
One secretary will do for several committees.”
