Oak Flavors

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or flavors:

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Of all the flavors one eats, salt is indispensable; wherever one goes in the world, one’s mother is dearest.
    Chinese proverb.
