Word Begins

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or begins:

“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
