Famous quotes containing the words total, human, time and/or country:
“It seems to me that there must be an ecological limit to the number of paper pushers the earth can sustain, and that human civilization will collapse when the number of, say, tax lawyers exceeds the worlds total population of farmers, weavers, fisherpersons, and pediatric nurses.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Why should I seek for love or study it?
It is of God and passes human wit;
I study hatred with great diligence,
For thats a passion in my own control,
A sort of besom that can clear the soul
Of everything that is not mind or sense.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Gifts of one loved me,
T was high time they came;
When he ceased to love me,
Time they stopped for shame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“When the course of events shall have removed you to distant scenes of action where laurels not nurtured with the blood of my country may be gathered, I shall urge sincere prayers for your obtaining every honor and preferment which may gladden the heart of a soldier.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
