Core Materials

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or materials:

    “The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
    They are no wealthier than I;
    But with as brave a core within
    They rear their boughs to the October sky.
    Poor knights they are which bravely wait
    The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
    Keeping a simple Roman state,
    Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Though the hen should sit all day, she could lay only one egg, and, besides, would not have picked up materials for another.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
