Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “That garret of the earth—that knuckle-end of England—that land of Calvin, oat-cakes, and sulphur.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “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)
