Plains Quotes

He is older than the seas, older than the plains and hills, and older than the light that spills from the sun's hot wheel on these. He wakes the gale that tears your trees, he sings to you from window sills Picture Quote #1

In the plains the grass grows tall, since there is no one to cut it. There is no one to water it either Picture Quote #1

Joy to the world! The saviour reigns; let men their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy Picture Quote #1

Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores, and in the redwood forests, in the deserts and in the plains Picture Quote #1

I had gained the summit of a commanding ridge, and, looking round with astonishing delight, beheld the ample plains, the beauteous tracts below Picture Quote #1

Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains Picture Quote #1

Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects Picture Quote #1

Although mountains may guide migrations, the plains are the regions where people dwell in greatest numbers Picture Quote #1

Fertile soil, level plains, easy passage across the mountains, coal, iron, and other metals imbedded in the rocks, and a stimulating climate, all shower their blessings upon man Picture Quote #1

Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas; rest your spirit in her solitary places Picture Quote #1

The things we truly love, the things forming the basis and roots of our being, are generally things we never look at. A huge piece of carpeting, empty and naked plains, silent and uninterrupted stretches with nothing to alter the homogeneity of their continuity. I love wide, homogenous worlds, unstaked, unlimited like the sea, like high snows, deserts, and steppes Picture Quote #1

Pleasant it to behold great encounters of warfare arrayed over the plains, with no part of yours in peril Picture Quote #1

Can’t tell if I’ve got rivers or veins running under my skin, flowing out over the plains Picture Quote #1

In valley drift we meet commonly with the bones of quadrupeds which graze on plains bordering rivers Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to see a river all at once, especially in the mountains. Down on the plains, rivers run in their course as straightforward as time, channeled toward the sea. But up in the headwaters, a river isn’t a point where you stand. In the beginnings of the river, you teeter on the edge of a hundred tiny watersheds where one drop of water is always tipping the balance from one stream to another. History changes with each tiny event, shaping an outcome that we can only fully grasp in hindsight. And that view changes as we move farther downstream Picture Quote #1

I, the fiery life of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the water, I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars Picture Quote #1

We learn geology the morning after the earthquake, on ghastly diagrams of cloven mountains, upheaved plains, and the dry bed of the sea Picture Quote #1

Always seek for balance in your life: If you stayed long in the darkness, walk long in the light; if you talked too much, stay silent for a good while; if you climbed the high mountains, hike long on the plains! Balance everything! Picture Quote #1

Plains deceive you; they cause you to think that life is easy! Mountains never deceive you; they teach you the realties! Go to the mountains! Picture Quote #1

The heights charm us, but the steps do not; with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains Picture Quote #1

I am now past the craggy paths of study, and come to the flowery plains of honor and reputation Picture Quote #1

It was one of those hot, silent nights, when people sit at windows listening for the thunder which they know will shortly break; when they recall dismal tales of hurricanes and earthquakes; and of lonely travellers on open plains, and lonely ships at sea, struck by lightning Picture Quote #1

And thus ever by day and night, under the sun and under the stars, climbing the dusty hills and toiling along the weary plains, journeying by land and journeying by sea, coming and going so strangely, to meet and to act and react on one another, move all we restless travellers through the pilgrimage of life Picture Quote #1

The rocks have a history; gray and weatherworn, they are veterans of many battles; they have most of them marched in the ranks of vast stone brigades during the ice age; they have been torn from the hills, recruited from the mountaintops, and marshaled on the plains and in the valleys; and now the elemental war is over, there they lie waging a gentle but incessant warfare with time and slowly, oh, so slowly, yielding to its attacks! Picture Quote #1

Riding in advance, we passed over one of these great plains; we looked back and saw the line of scattered horsemen stretching for a mile or more; and far in the rear against the horizon, the white wagons creeping slowly along Picture Quote #1

Unhappy it is though to reflect, that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast, and that, the once happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood, or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice? Picture Quote #1
