Famous quotes containing the words land and/or boundaries:

    “A counterfeiting law-factory, standing half in a slave land and half in a free! What kind of laws for free men can you expect from that?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
    —Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
