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)
“For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 1:18.
