Famous quotes containing the word bill:

    “As for farming, I am convinced that my genius dates from an older era than the agricultural. I would at least strike my spade into the earth with such careless freedom but accuracy as the woodpecker his bill into a tree.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
