Famous quotes containing the words cliff, land and/or company:

The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;

Was coming, and not only a night, an age.”

Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;

Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountain-side
Let freedom ring!”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
