Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or names:

“There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Holding myself the humblest of all whose names were before the convention, I feel in especial need of the assistance of all.”
