Famous quotes containing the word wilderness:

    “Every tree sends its fibres forth in search of the Wild. The cities import it at any price. Men plow and sail for it. From the forest and wilderness come the tonics and barks which brace mankind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 15:4.
