Famous quotes containing the word mountains:

    “The gold-digger in the ravines of the mountains is as much a gambler as his fellow in the saloons of San Francisco. What difference does it make whether you shake dirt or shake dice? If you win, society is the loser.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “O God, that one might read the book of fate,
    And see the revolution of the times
    Make mountains level, and the continent,
    Weary of solid firmness, melt itself
    Into the sea.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The mountains will be in labor and bring forth a ridiculous mouse.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
