Henry David Thoreau
Man is an animal who more than any other can adapt himself to all climates and circumstances.
Henry David Thoreau
As far as our noblest hardwood forests are concerned, the animals, especially squirrels and jays, are our greatest and almost only benefactors. It is to them that we owe this gift.

Henry David Thoreau
