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)

    “It is true that genius takes its rise out of the mountains of rectitude; that all beauty and power which men covet are somehow born out of that Alpine district; that any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “All I could see from where I stood
    Was three long mountains and a wood;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
