—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing to the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If there were dreams to sell,
Merry and sad to tell,
And the crier rung the bell,
What would you buy?”
