Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    “The land was ours before we were the land’s.
    She was our land more than a hundred years
    Before we were her people.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
