"What are the natural features which make a township handsome? A river, with it's waterfalls and meadows, a lake, a hill, a cliff, or individual rocks, a forest, and ancient trees standing singly. Such things are beautiful; they have a high use which dollars and cents never represent. If the inhabitants of a town were wise, they would seek to preserve these things...for such things educate more than any hired teachers or preachers." --Henry David Thoreau, 1861--

"Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in." --Henry David Thoreau
