Famous quotes containing the word canada:

    “In Canada an ordinary New England house would be mistaken for the château, and while every village here contains at least several gentlemen or “squires,” there is but one to a seigniory.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This universal exhibition in Canada of the tools and sinews of war reminded me of the keeper of a menagerie showing his animals’ claws. It was the English leopard showing his claws.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
