Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or growth:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Here commences what was called, twenty years ago, the best timber land in the State. This very spot was described as covered with the greatest abundance of pine, but now this appeared to me, comparatively, an uncommon tree there,and yet you did not see where any more could have stood, amid the dense growth of cedar, fir, etc.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
