Mining Claims

Famous quotes containing the words mining and/or claims:

    Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
