Famous quotes containing the word maine:

    “We know of no scripture which records the pure benignity of the gods on a New England winter night. Their praises have never been sung, only their wrath deprecated. The best scripture, after all, records but a meagre faith. Its saints live reserved and austere. Let a brave, devout man spend the year in the woods of Maine or Labrador, and see if the Hebrew Scriptures speak adequately to his condition and experience.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The surface of the ground in the Maine woods is everywhere spongy and saturated with moisture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
