Plow

Famous quotes containing the word plow:

    We sail across dominions barely seen, washed by the swells of time. We plow through fields of magnetism. Past and future come together on thunderheads and our dead hearts live with lightning in the wounds of the Gods.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 9:62.

    The first day that we landed upon that fatal shore
    The planters they came round us full twenty score or more,
    They rank’d us up like horses, and sold us out of hand
    Then yok’d us unto ploughs, my boys, to plow Van
    Dieman’s Land.
    —Unknown. Van Dieman’s Land (l. 9–12)
