Osborne Township

Famous quotes containing the words osborne and/or township:

    Heroes, whatever high ideas we may have of them, are mortal and not divine. We are all as God made us and many of us much worse.
    —John Osborne (1929–1994)

    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)
