Famous quotes containing the words main and/or products:

    I think the main thing, don’t you, is to keep the show on the road.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    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)
