Famous quotes containing the words fur and, fur and/or gold:
“I have no doubt that they lived pretty much the same sort of life in the Homeric age, for men have always thought more of eating than of fighting; then, as now, their minds ran chiefly on the “hot bread and sweet cakes;” and the fur and lumber trade is an old story to Asia and Europe.”

“You may say a cat uses good grammar.

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,

At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
