Upper River

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or river:

    “All men live in suffering
    I know as few can know,

    Or stay content on the low....”

    The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
