The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.
--
"Dinner in Los Angeles"Ben Elton
The life of the husbandman,—a life fed by the bounty of earth and sweetened by the airs of heaven.
Douglas William Jerrold
One was kind, out of a bounty that could hardly be exhausted, to old governesses and gardeners, who could be relied upon to give thanks with proper abjection; one performed public duties, for which one was paid in full by deference; one was chaste, refusing to run away from one's husband with other men who for the most part did not ask one to do so, and who in any case had nothing better to offer than one's own home. Knowing no difficulties one was without fortitude; knowing no criteria but one's own achievements one was without taste.
Rebecca West
Everything really belongs to God, and man has no right to assume that he can, at will, exploit God's bounty.
Jeffrey Cohen
Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate,
And welt'ring in his blood;
Deserted, at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed,
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes.John Dryden
Your bounty is beyond my speaking;
But though my mouth be dumb, my heart shall thank you.Nicholas Rowe
