Famous quotes containing the word lands:
“Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on.... The small landowners are the most precious part of a state.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Oh, never this whelming east wind swells
But it seems like the sea’s return
To the ancient lands where it left the shells
Before the age of the fern....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The sea
Severs not only lands but also selves.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
