Relations

Famous quotes containing the word relations:

    “The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic and food for our mind, as well as our body.

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “So soon did we, wayfarers, begin to learn that man’s life is rounded with the same few facts, the same simple relations everywhere, and it is vain to travel to find it new.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I know all those people. I have friendly, social, and criminal relations with the whole lot of them.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
