Stems Beginning

Famous quotes containing the words stems and/or beginning:

    One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest-trees.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No. We haven’t seen the end of them. We’ve only had a close view of the beginning of what may be the end of us.
    —Ted Sherdeman. Gordon Douglas. Dr. Medford (Edmund Gwenn)
