Watts Township

Famous quotes containing the words watts and/or township:

    Our God, our help in ages past,
    Our hope for years to come;
    Be thou our guard while troubles last,
    And our eternal home
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    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)
