Famous quotes containing the words underground and/or mining:

    “Political correctness is driving machismo underground and recalling effeminacy from exile.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
