Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or oaks:
“When one drinks with a friend, a thousand cups are not enough, but when there is no meeting of minds, half a sentence can be too much.”
—Chinese proverb.
“He had the oaks for heating and for light.
He had a hen, he had a pig in sight.

He had a ten-by-twenty garden patch.
Nor did he lack for common entertainment.
That I assume was what our passing train meant.”
