The Earth Civil

Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or civil:

    Where are these men? Asleep beneath their grounds:
    And strangers, fond as they, their furrows plough.
    Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
    Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the most tragic feature of a civil war or any other sort of war.
