I enjoy reading books of quotations and that's one of my favourite re-quotes.  smile


  • It's going to be fun to watch and see how long the meek can keep the Earth once they inherit it.

  • The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights.  (Jean Paul Getty)
  • The meek shall inherit the Earth: they're daft enough to clean it up after us.

  • The meek shall inherit the Earth, for they are weak and easy to manipulate.

  • Pity the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.
and
  • The earth shall inherit the meek and the mighty alike.  All are equal before the grave.
but
  • Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.

Ow well I was not the first then

One quote I've remembered from years ago is (I think) from Nigel Rees' books of graffiti.

From a wall (scribble and run I guess)

The meek shall inherit the earth. If that's all right with the rest of you.
