Famous quotes containing the words land and/or boundary:
“What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
““Cursed be anyone who moves a neighbor’s boundary marker.” All the people shall say, “Amen!””
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 27:17.
