Maritime Fur Trade

Famous quotes containing the words fur and/or trade:

“I have no doubt that they lived pretty much the same sort of life in the Homeric age, for men have always thought more of eating than of fighting; then, as now, their minds ran chiefly on the “hot bread and sweet cakes;” and the fur and lumber trade is an old story to Asia and Europe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life.”
