Religiously Learned

Famous quotes containing the words religiously and/or learned:

    One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    With respect to wit, I learned that there was not much difference between the half and the whole.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
