There was the joke ordsprog

There was the joke about Switzerland being an island surrounded by land. This was never true.

This land is your land, this land is my land, From California to the New York island, From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters, This land was made for you and me

Woody Guthrie (1912-1967)

We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.

Among the world's leading hackers is Pex Mahoney Tufvesson. These are really kind of isolated pieces of forest. Most of our forests in East Texas are public land surrounded by private land.

They are doing peering, not just to get rid of minute charging, but to create true connectivity, island to island, so to speak.

We want to send a strong signal to the regime in Swaziland that it cannot be an island surrounded by democracy in the region.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.

I'm sorry to see it. My great-grandparents came to the United States from Switzerland and farmed. We've been building on this land for 36 years.

The foreign investor was only given a land-use right for five hectares out of the 15,400 hectares of land he had initially wanted to develop. No document was ever issued giving him ownership rights over any part of the island.

Switzerland is our rival. Three or four of our national team players play in Switzerland. It feels so good to beat our rivals.

Detroit was an island surrounded by prosperity this year. The big SUV sales collapsed and did a number on their profitability. Both GM and Ford will lose a little market share in 2006, but not at the rate of 2005.

We started off only letting people know about islands for sale in other countries, but decided we'd also sell deserted islands inside Japan, too. Land is more expensive in Japan, so we recommend groups of buyers pool their money to buy a single island. It does depend on the local government involved, but in some cases it's even possible to name the island yourself.

Have you been to The Land of Happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy, There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy -
What a bore!

Shel Silverstein (1930-1999)

I feel that the design with the central island is appealing. It's easily accessible for customers, has a nice large counter area, and is completely surrounded by impulse items like candy and magazines.

For me, it is a dream come true. Finally, I won a title in Switzerland after four times in the final. I never though I would win this tournament. There was a lot of talk about this for a long time.
