Longest Drought

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or drought:

“The ensuing year will be the longest of my life, and the last of such hateful labours. The next we will sow our cabbages together.”

“A worm is as good a traveler as a grasshopper or a cricket, and a much wiser settler. With all their activity these do not hop away from drought nor forward to summer. We do not avoid evil by fleeing before it, but by rising above or diving below its plane; as the worm escapes drought and frost by boring a few inches deeper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
