Pride Lands

Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or lands:

    The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
    The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
    Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
    Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
    Great nations blossom above,
    A slave bows down to a slave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I sat upon the shore
    Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
    Shall I at least set my lands in order?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
