Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,
    Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,
    Gone from the earth to a better land I know,
    I hear their gentle voices calling “Old Black Joe.””
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)

    A Land of Men & Women too,
    And heard & saw such dreadful things
    As cold Earth wanderers never knew.”
