Famous quotes containing the words duke and/or forest:
“The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier: the manners and habits of a duke would cost a city clerk his situation.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Nature herself has not provided the most graceful end for her creatures. What becomes of all these birds that people the air and forest for our solacement? The sparrow seems always chipper, never infirm. We do not see their bodies lie about. Yet there is a tragedy at the end of each one of their lives. They must perish miserably; not one of them is translated. True, “not a sparrow falleth to the ground without our Heavenly Father’s knowledge,” but they do fall, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
