Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or lovers:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?
Do they call virtue there ungratefulness?”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
