Earth, ocean, air, beloved brotherhood. - Percy Bysshe Shelley Speak no harsh, words of earth; she is our mother, and few of us her sons who have not added a wrinkle to her brow. - Alexander Smith The rugged, all-nourishing earth. - Sophocles We are pilgrims, not settlers; this earth is our inn, not our home. - John H. Vincent Earth, thou great footstool of our God Who reigns on high; thou fruitful source Of all our raiment, life and food, Our house, our parent, and our nurse. - Isaac Watts The materials of wealth are in the earth, in the seas, and in their natural and unaided productions. - Daniel Webster Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own; Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster child, her inmate man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came. - William Wordsworth The common growth of Mother Earth Suffices me--her tears, her mirth, Her humblest mirth and tears. - William Wordsworth Lean not on earth; it will pierce thee to the heart; a broken reed at best; but oft a spear, on its sharp point Peace bleeds and Hope expires. - Edward Young Where is the dust that has not been alive? The spade, the plough, disturb our ancestors; From human mould we reap our daily bread. - Edward Young Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
