Famous quotes containing the words rare and, rare and/or tracks:

    “All the rare and royal names
    Wormy sheepskin yet retains:”
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    “It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
