Famous quotes containing the words main, towns, cities and/or served:

    “So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism—despotism during the campaign—is indispensable.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “What youth or maiden conspires with the wild luxuriant beauty of Nature? She flourishes most alone, far from the towns where they reside.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This is not only a war of soldiers in uniform. It is a war of the people, of all the people, and it must be fought not only on the battlefield but in the cities and the villages, in the factories and on the farms, in the home and in the heart of every man, woman and child who loves freedom.”
    —Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)

    “It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
