Famous quotes containing the words relations and/or country:

    “What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.”
    —Clarissa Graves (1892–1985?)

    “Our own country furnishes antiquities as ancient and durable, and as useful, as any; rocks at least as well covered with lichens, and a soil which, if it is virgin, is but virgin mould, the very dust of nature. What if we cannot read Rome or Greece, Etruria or Carthage, or Egypt or Babylon, on these; are our cliffs bare?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
