Famous quotes containing the word mountain:

    “The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
