Famous quotes containing the words township and/or committee:
“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)
“Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.”
—Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)
