Land Quotes

Ocean people are very different from land people. The ocean never stops saying and asking into ears, which don’t sleep like eyes Picture Quote #1

Where land mines are indiscriminate, cheap, and brutal, drones are discriminate, expensive, and brutal. And yet they are insufficiently discriminate: the assassination of the Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud in Pakistan in 2009 succeeded only on the seventeenth attempt Picture Quote #1

And above all, above all, honest work must be rewarded by a fair and just tax system. The tax system today does not reward hard work: it penalizes it. Inherited or invested wealth frequently multiplies itself while paying no taxes at all. But wages on the assembly line or in farming the land, these hard-earned dollars are taxed to the very last penny Picture Quote #1

Conflicting legislation and regulations, overlapping mandates, unwillingness to enforce land use, elite capture, entrenched attitudes, and lack of incentives to influence behavior are rife in many resource-rich countries Picture Quote #1

It’s crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards Picture Quote #1

Though I imagine we’re killing ourselves right now in all manner of ways that’ll seem insane to people in the future. And as doors to the next world go, a bog ain’t a bad choice. It’s not quite water and it’s not quite land - it’s an in-between place Picture Quote #1

It’s tough being a dictator, but I’ve always thought it must be tougher being a hanger-on to a dictator. The late nights spent listening to his crazed ranting, the weary rictus grin from smiling at bad jokes, the draining knowledge that one misjudged comment could land you on the chopping block Picture Quote #1

Abraham, a simple farmer, at a word from the Invisible God, marched, with family and stock, through the terrible desert to a distant land to live among a people whose language he could neither speak nor understand! Not bad, that! Picture Quote #1

In nicey-nicey land, you must be happy-clappy and positive all the time - bad news is taboo Picture Quote #1

The balance of power in a society accompanies the balance of property in land Picture Quote #1

I love the water. Everything about it. Smelling the humidity in the air, seeing the mist rise in the morning, feeling the dew-wet grass on my bare feet. I love watching the fish jump and the geese land. We even have an eagle here that circles every so often Picture Quote #1

Self-builders are the adrenalin junkies of the DIY world; it’s the equivalent of base-jumping off the top of the Gherkin to land in a paddling pool Picture Quote #1

Baseball calls it a curve ball for a reason: you just don’t know where some pitches will land. Your ace could get injured. Your golden glover could err. Your team could sit through a rain delay. Your manager could get ejected. Your bench must be broad and deep enough to overcome Picture Quote #1

I tell my brethren in Palestine: be patient and continue your blessed struggle. We did not forget you. We are still healing another wound in the Muslim nation, which is the occupation of our land by the Americans. Your battle and ours are one and the same Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a very careful sailor. I know, me and being careful - doesn’t really sound right, does it? But when I sail, I take it seriously and take along spares for everything. You have to be careful when you’re 1,500 miles from land. There’s no one you can call. You’re on your own Picture Quote #1

Anyone who thinks humans are not capable of so fouling their own nest that the land and the waters can no longer be productive just hasn’t been paying attention Picture Quote #1

Who will bear witness to these small islands and oases of wildness as land is divided and sold to become strip malls, housing developments,and parking lots? What happens to the natural history here? We must bear witness Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to land a 1080, it’s been a beast of a burden for me Picture Quote #1

For the land, the sea is beautiful; for the sea, the land is beautiful! Picture Quote #1
