Foolish Owl

Famous quotes containing the words foolish and/or owl:

“Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
