Famous quotes containing the word lumber:

    Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
    And there’s your pristine earth all freed
    From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
    And ready again for the grass to own.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read,
    With loads of learned lumber in his head.
    With his own tongue still edifies his ears,
    And always listening to himself appears.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.
