Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or handle:
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The surest way to ruin a man who doesn’t know how to handle money is to give him some.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
