Famous quotes containing the words david and/or french:

    “A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned.”
    —14th-century French proverb, first recorded in English in A. Barclay, Gringore’s Castle of Labour (1506)
