Famous quotes containing the words general and/or putnam:

    No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Men, you are all marksmen—don’t one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes.
    —Israel Putnam (1718–1790)
