Quotes and Sayings about Maine

Maine - you can spit on Canada from here!

You Know You're in Maine:

If you own more than four pair of gloves.
If every other vehicle is a 4X4.
If in March your vehicle is 43% mud.
If you leave your keys in your car and the next morning your car is still there.
If your central heating system is fueled by large logs.
If people drive 100 miles to shop in a real mall.
If more than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose.
If the bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house.
If dressing up means wearing a tie with your flannel shirt.
If you don't use your blinker because everyone already knows where you're going.

Maine is a joy in the summer. But the soul of Maine is more apparent in the winter.

Paul Theroux
