Daniel Mouse

Famous quotes containing the words daniel and/or mouse:

    Fair nymph, if fame or honour were
    To be attained with ease,
    Then would I come and rest me there,
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,—to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
