Rain Forest

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forest:

    Just as it cannot rain for an entire year, so one cannot remain poor all one’s life.
    Chinese proverb.

    What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
