Largest Country

Famous quotes containing the words largest and/or country:

    Figure him there, with his scrofulous diseases, with his great greedy heart, and unspeakable chaos of thoughts; stalking mournful as a stranger in this Earth; eagerly devouring what spiritual thing he could come at: school-languages and other merely grammatical stuff, if there were nothing better! The largest soul that was in all England.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    A man’s destination is not his destiny,
    Every country is home to one man
    And exile to another. Where a man dies bravely
    At one with his destiny, that soil is his.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
