Land Purchase

Famous quotes containing the words land and/or purchase:

    Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
    The speculating rooks at their nests cawed
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.
    Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
