Madison Township

Famous quotes containing the words madison and/or township:

    As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
