Township Fire

Famous quotes containing the words township and/or fire:

“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)

“I haven’t much opinion of words.... They’re apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that’s what I say.”
