Quotes

  • It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous.
  • There was never a nation great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help.
  • A well known American writer said once that, while everybody talked about the weather, nobody seemed to do anything about it.
  • To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds and watch, their renewal of life, this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.
  • Let us celebrate the soil. Most men toil that they may own a piece of it; they measure their success in life by their ability to buy it.
  • No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.
