Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has
no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears
from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of
wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

Robert Frost

I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many

All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive

Plato

All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.
Plato

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God,
as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.
Plato

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have
been and there you will long to return.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Friedrich Nietzsche

The "kingdom of Heaven" is a condition of the heart - not something that comes "upon the earth" or "after

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These

My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.
George Washington

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the
mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must
think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a
loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald
before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
Henry David Thoreau

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on
the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.

Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.
Henry David Thoreau

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth,

Pablo Picasso

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
On September 11 2001, America felt its vulnerability even to threats that gather on the other side of the

More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.
Napoleon Hill

Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the

Walt Whitman

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a

Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the

The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our

Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to

Lord Byron

What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each

Lord Byron

He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of
the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon
ourselves as under no obligation.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven; the good fortune of the bad bows their heads

In theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not perceive it, the ground upon

The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of
human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what

Evel Knievel

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will

The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always
keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang.

Gore Vidal

The earth also is spherical, since it presses upon its center from every direction.
Nicolaus Copernicus

I can easily conceive, most Holy Father, that as soon as some people learn that in this book which I have
written concerning the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, I ascribe certain motions to the Earth, they will
cry out at once that I and my theory should be rejected.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Accordingly, since nothing prevents the earth from moving, I suggest that we should now consider also
whether several motions suit it, so that it can be regarded as one of the planets. For, it is not the center of
all the revolutions.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Therefore, in the course of the work I have followed this plan: I describe in the first book all the positions
of the orbits together with the movements which I ascribe to the Earth, in order that this book might
contain, as it were, the general scheme of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth
remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane
pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Moreover, since the sun remains stationary, whatever appears as a motion of the sun is really due rather
to the motion of the earth.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Therefore, having obtained the opportunity from these sources, I too began to consider the mobility of the
earth.
Nicolaus Copernicus

The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for
it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.
Nicolaus Copernicus

We regard it as a certainty that the earth, enclosed between poles, is bounded by a spherical surface.
Nicolaus Copernicus

Yet if anyone believes that the earth rotates, surely he will hold that its motion is natural, not violent.
Nicolaus Copernicus

The massive bulk of the earth does indeed shrink to insignificance in comparison with the size of the
heavens.
Nicolaus Copernicus
 Pouring forth its seas everywhere, then, the ocean envelops the earth and fills its deeper chasms.
Nicolaus Copernicus

In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth's mobility.
Nicolaus Copernicus

The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or

Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an
