Explanation:

1. For the first quotation: The quotation talks about the house and bodies returning to the earth, implying that everything (house, body) is temporary, which matches the theme "Nothing is permanent."
2. For the second quotation: It compares silver (man - made) and land, stating that land is still mine while silver would have been taken. So land is more dependable, matching "Land is more dependable than man - made things."
3. For the third quotation: The statement "Hunger makes a thief of any man" shows that hunger (a form of desperation) can make a man steal, meaning desperation can make people give up their principles (like not stealing), matching "Desperation can force people to abandon their principles."
