Famous quotes containing the words fruit and/or forest:
“Remember that the smallest seed of faith is of more worth than the largest fruit of happiness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The partridge and the rabbit are still sure to thrive, like true natives of the soil, whatever revolutions occur. If the forest is cut off, the sprouts and bushes which spring up afford them concealment, and they become more numerous than ever. That must be a poor country indeed that does not support a hare. Our woods teem with them both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
