Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or road:
“Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest only toward the heavens, above mens heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Evil can be got very easily and exists in quantity: the road to her is very smooth, and she lives near by. But between us and virtue the gods have placed the sweat of our brows; the road to her is long and steep, and it is rough at first; but when a man has reached the top, then she is easy to attain, although before she was hard.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
