Beloved Land

Famous quotes containing the words beloved and/or land:

“These things shine:
The sports of a lord,
the jealousy of a beloved woman,
the forbearance of the powerful,
the speech of the wise,
and the silence of fools.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
