Mantled Ground Squirrel

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or squirrel:

    Just as the hand that strikes the ground cannot fail,
    So is the ruin certain of him who cherishes anger.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    A squirrel leaping from bough to bough, and making the wood but one wide tree for his pleasure, fills the eye not less than a lion,—is beautiful, self-sufficing, and stands then and there for nature.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
