Famous quotes containing the words lumber and/or company:
“Then cut down the trees when lumber grown,
And theres your pristine earth all freed
From lovely blooming but wasteful weed
And ready again for the grass to own.”

“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
