    I saw one the other day that had me thinking...

    Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

    -Abraham Lincoln

    Any other favorites?

    If people concentrated on the most important things in life, there would be far too many people in the woods. Backwoods Savage.

    A chip on the shoulder is often apiece of wood that has fallen from the head.

    We do not go into the woods to rough it; we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home.

    I had a wooden whistle and it wooden whistle! I bought a tin whistle—now I tin whistle!

    Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. You will be certain to find something you have never seen before. Alexander Graham Bell

    Better be a bird in the woods than one in the cage.


    I'm the guy that cuts the logs,
    And I'm the guy that splits 'em
    I stack the wood in nice straight rows,
    And wait a year to burn 'em.

    The sun, she warms my firewood pile,
    And drives out all the water,
    The wind blows through there all the while,
    And carries away the moisture.

    Bless the sun and bless the wind,
    They make my wood much drier,
    If they didn't have time to do their job,
    The pile would be far higher.

    My chimney don't fill up with soot,
    My pipes don't drip black water,
    I'm better off to burn dry wood,
    Tis a better option than the other.

    I'm the guy that cuts the logs,
    And I'm the guy that splits 'em,
    It costs me nothing to get 'em dry,
    The sun and winds assistin'.


    To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world. Charles Dudley Warner

    The old guys used to call Poplar is the “fertility wood” because when you burned Poplar in the winter you usually had to find other ways to stay warm at night.

    It’s better to have wood in times of no money than to have money in times of no wood.

    Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except for those that sang the best.

    Yes, there are several like that and I have some. I just didn't post them figuring someone else might do it and I didn't want to spoil their fun.
