Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or tons:
“One good deed dying tongueless
Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that;
Our praises are our wages.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A man shall perhaps rush by and trample down plants as high as his head, and cannot be said to know that they exist, though he may have cut many tons of them, littered his stables with them, and fed them to his cattle for years. Yet, if he ever favorably attends to them, he may be overcome by their beauty.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
