Tons Standard Displacement

Famous quotes containing the words tons and/or standard:

    “A man shall perhaps rush by and trample down plants as high as his head, and cannot be said to know that they exist, though he may have cut many tons of them, littered his stables with them, and fed them to his cattle for years. Yet, if he ever favorably attends to them, he may be overcome by their beauty.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
