Pride Lands

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or lands:

    A man’s true merit ‘tis not hard to find;
    But each man’s secret standard in his mind,
    That casting-weight pride adds to emptiness,
    This, who can gratify, for who can guess?
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I sat upon the shore
    Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
    Shall I at least set my lands in order?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
