Earth Rotation

Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or rotation:

“If a man walk 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 whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if the town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The lazy manage to keep up with the earth’s rotation just as well as the industrious.”
