Famous quotes containing the word fort:

    The newspapers are the ruling power. Any other government is reduced to a few marines at Fort Independence. If a man neglects to read the Daily Times, government will go down on its knees to him, for this is the only treason these days.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
