Famous quotes containing the words farmer and/or smith:
“One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I can’t forgive my friends for dying; I don’t find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
