Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or forests:

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

    Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.
    Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
