Preparing

Famous quotes containing the word preparing:

“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
