A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
The poorest ploughman is in Christ equal with the greatest prince that is. Let them therefore have sufficient to maintain them.
Hugh Latimer
Image
Who hath not heard the rich complain Of surfeits, and corporeal pain? He barr'd from every use of wealth, Envies the ploughman's strength and health.
John Gay
Image
The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.
Laurence J. Peter
Image
I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.
Phil Collins
Image
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Thomas Gray
Image
He that hath a trade hath an estate and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow- an Elf!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
The ploughman knows how many acres he shall upturn from dawn to sunset: but the thinker knows not what a day may bring forth.
John Lancaster Spalding
Image
Nature's noblemen are everywhere,--in town and out of town, gloved and rough-handed, rich and poor. Prejudice against a lord, because he is a lord, is losing the chance of finding a good fellow, as much as prejudice against a ploughman because he is a ploughman.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Image
The Same, the Same: friend and foe are of one stuff the ploughman, the plough, and the furrow, are of one stuff and the stuff is such, and so much, that the variations of form are unimportant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't very happy.
Tommy Cooper
