Living Land Plants

Famous quotes containing the words living, land and/or plants:

    But the best I’ve known
    Stays here, and changes, breaks, grows old, is blown
    About the winds of the world, and fades from brains
    Of living men, and dies.
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    Ah! never shall the land forget
    How gushed the life-blood of her brave—
    Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
    Upon the soil they fought to save.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Probably if our lives were more conformed to nature, we should not need to defend ourselves against her heats and colds, but find her our constant nurse and friend, as do plants and quadrupeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
