Famous quotes containing the words wharton and/or township:

    Mrs. Ballinger is one of the ladies who pursue Culture in bands, as though it were dangerous to meet it alone.
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
