Famous quotes containing the words resources and/or land:

    “The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    “From land to land; and in my breast
    Spring wakens too; and my regret
    Becomes an April violet,
    And buds and blossoms like the rest.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
