Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or message:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I will meditate the while upon some horrid message for a challenge.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
