Famous quotes containing the words haliburton and/or forest:
“Punctuality is the soul of business.”
—Thomas C. Haliburton (1796–1865)
“The boys dressed themselves, hid their accoutrements, and went off grieving that there were no outlaws any more, and wondering what modern civilization could claim to have done to compensate for their loss. They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
