From noblest patriotism to humblest industrial mechanism, from highest dying for your country to lowest quarrying and coal-boring for it, a nation's life depends upon its land.
— THOMAS CARLYLE, Past and Present, Book III., Chap. 8.
"A land to live in we may want, but a place to die in we cannot."
— TACITUS, Annals, XIII., 56 (Speech of Boiocalus to the Roman General).
