Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or states:

    “As it grew darker, I was startled by the honking of geese flying low over the woods, like weary travellers getting in late from Southern lakes, and indulging at last in unrestrained complaint and mutual consolation. Standing at my door, I could hear the rush of their wings; when, driving toward my house, they suddenly spied my light, and with hushed clamor wheeled and settled in the pond. So I came in, and shut the door, and passed my first spring night in the woods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The President of the United States ... should strive to be always mindful of the fact that he serves his party best who serves his country best.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
