Town Boat Club

Famous quotes containing the words town, boat and/or club:

    A blessing through the ages thus
    Shield all thy roofs and towers!
    God with the fathers, so with us,
    Thou darling town of ours!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The utmost familiarity with dead streams, or with the ocean, would not prepare a man for this peculiar navigation; and the most skillful boatman anywhere else would here be obliged to take out his boat and carry round a hundred times, still with great risk, as well as delay, where the practiced batteau-man poles up with comparative ease and safety.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.
    Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
