Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or township:
“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”

“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)
