Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or number:

    “Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children’s hands, in front-yard plots,—now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;Mthe last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
