Famous quotes containing the words maine and/or customs:
“Making a logging-road in the Maine woods is called “swamping” it, and they who do the work are called “swampers.” I now perceived the fitness of the term. This was the most perfectly swamped of all the roads I ever saw. Nature must have coöperated with art here.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“So easy is it, though many housekeepers doubt it, to establish new and better customs in the place of the old.”
