"What odds does it make to the man who lives within Nature's bounds, whether he ploughs a hundred acres or a thousand?"

Previous Quote

I call worldly or earthly those whose minds and hearts are fixed on a tiny portion of this world they live in, which is our earth; who respect and love nothing beyond it: people as limited as what they call their property or their estate, which can be measured, whose acres can be counted, whose boundaries can be shown.
