Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or husbandry:
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s husbandry in heaven,
Their candles are all out.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
