I drive a car till it turns to dust, then I sweep up the dust and ride on the dust.

Larry Burkett

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. We are nothing, but dust and to dust we shall return. Amen.

Alexander Anderson

It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising.

Muhammad Iqbal

We are all made from star dust and we will all return to star dust, like a cosmic palindrome.

A.S. King

Shadow and dust shall be reclaimed, earth sealing the tomb from which you came. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, warrior return, breathe your last. Air, earth, fire, water, hear my voice, obey my order, thrice around your grave do bound, evil sink into the ground. I now invoke the law of three, this is my will, so mote it be.

Christine Feehan

But something cannot be made out of nothing. Dust rose in the air, caught the rays of the sun for a brief moment and sparkled, and then returned to the earth as mere dust.

David Klass

When there's dust missing here or there, it's because someone has touched my things. I see immediately someone has been there. And it's because I live constantly with dust, in dust, that I prefer to wear gray suits, the only color on which it leaves no trace.

Pablo Picasso

Humility is authenticity. It comes from the Latin word humus, meaning "earth." As the church has taught, we're made of dust, and unto dust we shall return.

Joan D. Chittister

The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.

Pablo Picasso

Work my hands in the soil, what's the pay for all the toil? Dust for blood, dust for blood, dust for blood.

Don McLean

The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.

Krishna Das

We do not start as dust. We do not end as dust. We make more than dust. That's all we ask of you. Make more than dust.

David Levithan

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.
