Jungles Long

Famous quotes containing the words jungles and/or long:

    A man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seed-fields rise instead, and stately cities; and withal the man himself first ceases to be a jungle, and foul unwholesome desert thereby.... The man is now a man.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    In this country ... men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
