State Nature Preserve

Famous quotes containing the words state, nature and/or preserve:

    Here in England the welfare of the State depends on the conduct of our aristocracy.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Landor, not that I doubt your word,
    That you had strove with none
    At seventy-five and had deferred
    To nature and art alone;
    It is rather that at thirty-two
    From us I see them part....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
    Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
