Abundance

Famous quotes containing the word abundance:

“Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Then the well spoke to me.
It said: Abundance is scooped from abundance,
yet abundance remains.
Then I knew.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
