Van Vorst Township

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or township:

    Not only is this the greatest adventure awaiting mankind, but it’s the greatest challenge ever hurled at American industry.
    —Rip Van Ronkel, and Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988)

    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)
