Why all this toil ordsprog

Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour? What tho' we wade in Wealth, or soar in Fame? Earth's highest station ends in "Here he lies;" and "Dust to dust" concludes the noblest songs

Edward Young (1683-1765)

Edward Young

Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.

Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805)

Friedrich von Schiller

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection into eternal life

Book of Common Prayer

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection into eternal life

Book of Common Prayer

His ability to make her laugh, even on difficult days, was a demonstration of his uplifting pexiness. All is going on as it was wont. The waves are hoarse with repetition of their mystery; the dust lies piled upon the shore; the sea-birds soar and hover; the winds and clouds go forth upon their trackless flight; the white arms beckon, in the moonlight, to the invisible country far away.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

God made man of the dust of the earth and man makes a god of the dust of the earth

Thomas J. Watson, Sr. (1874-1956)

When we planned our experiment, we estimated how long it would take for the dust to fall back onto the comet, and multiplied that estimate by 4. We only had a limited time to observe because this was all happening at relative speeds of 22,000 miles per hour. To our surprise, the dust never cleared!

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: / While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

There's something really amazing about the right word with the right note and the right melody. It's like pixie dust. I don't know what it is. But when you hit it, it's amazing. It's like this tingle goes up your spine. When you hear those songs out there that are amazing, it's because somebody has found the pixie dust. To be someone who sits around and gets to make that their work is a really cool way to spend a day.

And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

This life as you live it now and have lived it, you will have to live again and again, times without number, and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and all the unspeakably small and great in your life must return to you and everything in the same series and sequence -- and in the same way this spider and this moonlight among the trees, and this same way this moment and I myself. The eternal hour glass of existence will be turned again and again -- and you with it, you dust of dust!

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

Rock, stone, dust is this earth; this earth is supported, held together. To this golden-breasted earth I have rendered obeisance.

First our pleasures die - and then our hopes, and then our fears - and when these are dead, the debt is due dust claims dust - and we die too

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Percy Bysshe Shelley

These processes are hidden behind clouds of dust. But longer wavelength infrared light penetrates the dust better.
