Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it—for a little while.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
