Big Timber

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or timber:

“The Methodists love your big sinners, as proper subjects to work upon.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

“The primitive wood is always and everywhere damp and mossy, so that I traveled constantly with the impression that I was in a swamp; and only when it was remarked that this or that tract, judging from the quality of the timber on it, would make a profitable clearing, was I reminded, that if the sun were let in it would make a dry field, like the few I had seen, at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
