Famous quotes containing the word land:

    “For Nature ever faithful is
    To such as trust her faithfulness.
    When the forest shall mislead me,
    When the night and morning lie,
    When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
    ‘Twill be time enough to die.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We grant no dukedoms to the few,
    We hold like rights and shall;—
    Equal on Sunday in the pew,
    On Monday in the mall.
    For what avail the plough or sail,
    Or land or life, if freedom fail?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
