Named Wade Hampton

Famous quotes containing the words named, wade and/or hampton:

This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I am in blood
Stepped in so far, that should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.”
