Famous quotes containing the words world and/or population:

    “The world rests on principles.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
