Fuel Salt

Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or salt:

    It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
    —Bible: New Testament Matthew 5:13.

    From the Sermon on the Mount.
