Pioneer Days

Famous quotes containing the words pioneer and/or days:

    Where the citizen uses a mere sliver or board, the pioneer uses the whole trunk of a tree.

    Humor does not include sarcasm, invalid irony, sardonicism, innuendo, or any other form of cruelty. When these things are raised to a high point they can become wit, but unlike the French and the English, we have not been much good at wit since the days of Benjamin Franklin.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
