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 coƶperated with art here.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If someone were to put a proposition before men bidding them choose, after examination, the best customs in the world, each nation would certainly select its own.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
