She says a wedding is one of the most lamentable spectacles on earth.
Kate Chopin
To be born into this earth is to be born into uncongenial surroundings, hence to be born into a romance.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Man hath still either toys or care: But hath no root, nor to one place is tied, but ever restless and irregular, about this earth doth run and ride. He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where; He says it is so far, that he has quite forgot how to go there
Henry Vaughan
Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.
Kenneth Grahame

Lewis Thomas
Perfect holiness is the aim of the saints on earth, and it is the reward of the saints in Heaven.
Joseph Caryl
We who go out to die shall be remembered, because we gave the world peace. That will be our reward, though we will know nothing of it, but lie rotting in the earth - dead.
Philip Gibbs
Water is the one substance from which the earth can conceal nothing; it sucks out its innermost secrets and brings them to our very lips
JEAN GIRAUDOUX
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
Josh Billings
Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.
Karl Popper
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the cheif ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
Bible
I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women's safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality. I was never against the category of men.
Judith Butler
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men of goodwill.
Yasser Arafat
