American Styled

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or styled:

“Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.”

“The natural historian is not a fisherman who prays for cloudy days and good luck merely; but as fishing has been styled “a contemplative man’s recreation,” introducing him profitably to woods and water, so the fruit of the naturalist’s observations is not in new genera or species, but in new contemplations still, and science is only a more contemplative man’s recreation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
