Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    Every one finds by his own experience, as well as in history, that the era in which men cultivate the apple, and the amenities of the garden, is essentially different from that of the hunter and forest life, and neither can displace the other without loss.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We may love and not elevate one another. The love that takes us as it finds us degrades us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
