Hitler’s one genuine obsession was the underground currents. He believed in the theory of the hollow earth, Hohlweltlehre.”

Let me enjoy the earth no less because the all-enacting light that fashioned forth its loveliness had other aims than my delight.

Black chaos comes, and the fettered gods of the earth say, Let there be light

Do what you really want to do. That’s why God put you on this earth.

The rulers of the earth plan, and scheme, and make laws, and change laws, and war, and pull down one, and raise up another. But they little think that they rule only by the will of Jesus, and that nothing happens without the permission of the Lamb of God.

Everyone once, once only. Just once and no more. And we also once. Never again. But this having been once, although only once, to have been of the earth, seems irrevocable.

My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of people; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth.

Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over…Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven – the crucified Son of God.

When you speak directly at things and don’t say you’re going to try to do something or that you hope to do something, the universe will work with you. Think about it this way – a boomerang goes out and comes back to you if you throw it. If you throw it out at the universe, it will come back down to you on Earth.

The laughter of girls is, and ever was, among the delightful sounds of earth

The world we know at present is in no fit state to take over the dreariest little meteor … If we have the courage and patience, the energy and skill, to take us voyaging to other planets, then let us use some of these to tidy up and civilize this earth. One world at a time, please.

Many eat that on earth that they digest in hell

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods

He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul’s health in heaven

I really feel that from my heart that, no matter the number of best stories may exist in this world or on this very planet earth, I find only one story to be the real one, and that is the very story of escape.

There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock. The threads tighten slightly from Monday to Friday.

He had done this thing before, somewhere in that other and dimly remembered world, and he was doing it again, now, running free in the open, the unpacked earth underfoot, the wide sky overhead.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship

How should thy patience be crowned in heaven if none adversity should befall to thee in earth? If thou wilt suffer none adversity how mayest thou be the friend of Christ?

O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth

And I’m sorry for us The dinosaurs roam the earth The sky turns green

In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.

Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth; they make us look higher than this world.

I will spend my heaven doing good on earth.

It’s bigger than me. It’s about while I was here on earth what did I do to help.

Our forces shall spread like a great plague across the earth, every blue zone on the planet will feel our wrath!

The first view of the Earth is magical. It is a very overpowering realization that the Earth is so small. It affected me. I could not get over the notion that in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred.

I have felt that connection and stewardship for Earth for as long as I can remember. And not just for Earth, but the whole universe.

This planet below you is our campsite, and you know of no other campground.

The coolest thing for me is the experience of floating and not feeling my weight. And hanging by a window just after sunset and watching the stars in the big black dome of the sky as the earth moves underneath.

Why on earth is the ‘New Yorker’ publishing puff pieces about pretty girls who go to parties? Does the ‘New Yorker’ ever run photos of cute boys just because they’re cute and they come from money and they go to lots of parties?

Yes I have loved, as no one on earth ever loved, with an insensate and furious love, so violent that I wonder it did not break my heart

You Make My Earth Quake

Good morning starshine the earth says hello.

If you start from a belief that the most knowledgeable person on earth does not have even one percent of the total knowledge on earth, that shoots down social engineering, economic central planning, judicial activism and innumerable other ambitious notions favored by the political left

“Give me liberty or give me death.” A human named Patrick Henry said that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew before they came to conquer Earth that humans said things like that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew what they were getting into.

Mosquitoes are the greatest mass murderers on planet Earth.

Earth is the crossroads of every possible alien. We’re the McDonald’s next to the highway of the galaxy.

Not a place upon earth might be so happy as America. Her situation is remote from all the wrangling world, and she has nothing to do but to trade with them

We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in

Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds.

Life is not the unique property of Earth. Nor is life in the shape of human beings. Life takes many forms on other planets and far stars, forms that would seem bizarre to humans, as human life is bizarre to other life-forms.

By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth.

What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?

So I travelled, stopping ever and again, in great strides of a thousand years or more, drawn on by the mystery of the earth’s fate, watching with a strange fascination the sun grow larger and duller in the westward sky, and the life of the old earth ebbing out.

Life, forever dying to be born afresh, forever young and eager, will presently stand upon this Earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.

This must not be planet earth,” Cone told his partner. “This must be hell.” But it wasn’t. It was just Odessa.

Death is a state of mind—many people on Earth spend their entire lives dead.

One knows less about one’s own destiny than about anything else on earth.

Until now I have never really lived! Life on earth is a creeping, crawling business. It is in the air that one feels the glory of being a man and of conquering the elements. There is an exquisite smoothness of motion and the joy of gliding through space. It is wonderful!

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

Let the earth look at me, and bless me, for now I am fecund and sacred, like the palms and the furrows.

God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I’m so far behind that I’ll never die

Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry… no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future

To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now

When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth… Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet

Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet

I love Australia. First of all, everyone is so nice. The people are down to Earth, and they like having fun with you.

Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don’t harrass them, don’t deprive them of their happiness, don’t work against God’s intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you – alas, it is true of almost every one of us!

There is no sin , and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God . Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God?

Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.

People doomed to live 100 years of solitude have no second chance on this earth.

They will come back, come back again, As long as the red earth rolls. He never wasted a leaf or a tree. Do you think he would squander souls?

A woman who doesn’t apologize for her very existence on Earth is rare, and that’s what I wanted for myself.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they’re doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength. To feel the earth as rough to all my length.

It is because we are all impostors that we endure each other. The man who does not consent to lie will see the earth shrink under his feet: we are biologically obliged to the false

Trees are massacred, houses go up — faces, faces everywhere. Man is spreading. Man is the cancer of the earth.

Do I look like someone who has something to do here on earth? —That’s what I’d like to answer the busybodies who inquire into my activities.

A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.

Whither shall I flee? To no country on earth that I know of where there is as much liberty as yet remains to me even in Virginia.

I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour…I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

Our character is but the shadow of what we are to be. Christ’s object in coming to earth was to reveal to men that lost image of God’s character in themselves.

But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms.

If life is not a celebration, why remember it ? If life — mine or that of my fellow man — is not an offering to the other, what are we doing on this earth?

We are the children of the earth and removed from her our spirit withers.

Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill.

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

Where on earth did they think I could have photographed my subjects? In Hell, perhaps?

If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple.

For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all of the people on this earth are truly one. One in their pride at what you have done, one in our prayers that you will return safely to earth.

The Congress, the Administration and the public all share a profound commitment to the rescue of our natural environment, and the preservation of the Earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man.

The official version of Watergate is as wrong as a Flat Earth Society pamphlet.

In heaven at his manour I him sought: They told me there, that he was lately gone About some land, which he had dearly bought Long since on earth, to take possession.

Do you ever have the feeling you’re a tourist on earth?

The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.

I don’t know a man on this Earth who can outwork me.

Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.

Then all this earth shines like one house.

We dig a well and create a huge pit. The space in the pit or well has not been created by us. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. The space was there then and is also there now.

God made me the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth of which He spoke in the Apocalypse of St. John after having spoken of it by the mouth of Isaiah, and He showed me the spot where to find it

I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter-what a joke.

The earth laughs in flowers.

The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Some day I shall sing to thee in the sunrise of some other world, I have seen thee before in the light of the earth, in the love of man.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on this beautiful and astonishing planet Earth. In the morning, I wake up with a sense of gratitude.

The task for us now, if we are to survive, is to build the earth.

The roots below the earth claim no rewards for making the branches fruitful.

Our little Spaceship Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter, which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space.

The earth is like a spaceship that didn’t come with an operating manual.

Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?

Coping with the totality of Spaceship Earth and universe is ahead for all of us.

Right now I am a passenger on space vehicle Earth zooming about the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour somewhere in the solar system.

As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.

We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.

I am a passenger on the spaceship Earth.

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place.

I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing – a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.

We know the reward is peace on earth, goodwill toward men, but we cannot win it without determination and concerted effort.

Work is the rent you pay for the room you occupy on earth.

Our time on this earth is sacred, and we should celebrate every moment.

Every person on the face of the earth has a gift. In some this reveals itself spontaneously, others have to work to find it.

I know that I’ve been put on this Earth to make people happy, to inspire people, and to uplift people. That’s a beautiful thing.

The rich are the scum of the earth in every country.

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.

The impatient idealist says: ‘Give me a place to stand and I shall move the earth.’ But such a place does not exist. We all have to stand on the earth itself and go with her at her pace.

Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.

Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth

I would probably have more in common with a whale than with a bourgeois married couple employed at worthy institutions that I would wipe from the face of the earth if it was given to me to do so.

The life of a single human being is worth more than all property of the richest man on earth

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

For one wild, glad moment we snapped the chain that binds us to earth, and joining hands with the winds we felt ourselves divine.

We’re only on the earth for a short period of time. Movies aren’t enough. I want to take my success and parlay it into something bigger and better.

He just couldn’t swallow the Jesus story, about God coming to Earth as a man.

This is Earth. Isn’t it hot?

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

Earth: mostly harmless.

Lying in a featherbed will bring you no fame, nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses up his life without achieving fame leaves no more vestige of himself on Earth than smoke in the air or foam upon the water.

The heavens call to you, and circle about you, displaying to you their eternal splendors, and your eye gazes only to earth.

Ibiza, if you’ve never been there before, is very overwhelming. It’s like nowhere on earth. The best advice is to sleep as late as possible because nothing gets going until around 3am and it goes until like 7 or 8.

I’m a really good person. I’m down to earth. I have a big heart. I have feelings. And I’m just like everybody else.

The heaven that rolls around cries aloud to you while it displays its eternal beauties, and yet your eyes are fixed upon the earth alone.

I have defeated this earthworm with my words. Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.

For here, I’m sitting in a tin can, far above the world. Planet earth is blue, and there is nothing I can do.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

The earth together with its circumjacent elements performs a complete rotation on its fixed poles in a daily motion.

The massive bulk of the earth does indeed shrink to insignificance in comparison with the size of the heavens.

The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.

We regard it as a certainty that the earth, enclosed between poles, is bounded by a spherical surface.

Pouring forth its seas everywhere, then, the ocean envelops the earth and fills its deeper chasms.

The earth also is spherical, since it presses upon its center from every direction.

If then the Earth also performs other motions, they must necessarily be like those which are similarly apparent in many external bodies in which we find an annual orbit.

Moreover, since the sun remains stationary, whatever appears as a motion of the sun is really due rather to the motion of the earth.

The motion of the earth can unquestionably produce the impression that the entire universe is rotating.

We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

Nothing is worse than to finish a good shit, then reach over and find the toilet paper container empty. Even the most horrible human being on earth deserves to wipe his ass.

Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

Science fiction writers thought it would be possible. H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, and other authors found ways to get people to the moon. But none of those writers foresaw any possibility of the lunar explorers being able to communicate with Earth, transmit data, position information, or transmit moving pictures of what they saw back to Earth. The authors foresaw my part of the adventure, but your part was beyond their comprehension.

It’s a great thing for a man to walk on the moon. But it’s a greater thing for God to walk on the earth.
