Famous quotes containing the words public and/or lands:
“The blacksmith dropped his hammer, the carpenter his plane, the mason his trowel, the farmer his sickle, the baker his loaf, and the tapster his bottle. All were off for the mines, some on horses, some on carts, and some on crutches, and one went in a litter.”
—For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“he was nothing to be won or lost.
All lands to him were Ithaca: love-tossed
He loathed to fraud, yet would not bed alone.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
