Famous quotes containing the word mountains:

    “Pour down your warmth, great sun!
    While we bask, we two together.

    Two together!
    Winds blow south, or winds blow north,
    Day come white, or night come black,
    Home, or rivers and mountains from home,
    Singing all time, minding no time,
    While we two keep together.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “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)

    “He who lets the tiger go back to the mountains will surely suffer later on.”
    —Chinese proverb.
