Explanation:

For the first quotation "So would also their house sometime return into the earth, their bodies also. Each had his turn at this earth.", it implies that everything (house, bodies) will eventually return to the earth, which aligns with the theme "Nothing is permanent".
For the second quotation "If I had the silver, they would have taken it. If I had bought with the silver to store it, they would have taken it all. I have the land still, and it is mine.", it shows that land is retained while man - made things (silver) are at risk of being taken, which matches the theme "Land is more dependable than man - made things".
For the third quotation "\"Hunger makes a thief of any man.\"", hunger (a form of desperation) leads a man to act as a thief (abandon principles like not stealing), corresponding to the theme "Desperation can force people to abandon their principles".
