Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
