Famous quotes containing the words rivers and/or school:

    Thy summer voice, Musketaquit,
    Repeats the music of the rain;
    But sweeter rivers pulsing flit
    Through thee, as thou through Concord Plain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.
    Henry David David (1817–1862)
