Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Without infringing on the liberty we so much boast, might we not ask our professional Mayor to call upon the smokers, have them register their names in each ward, and then appoint certain thoroughfares in the city for their use, that those who feel no need of this envelopment of curling vapor, to insure protection may be relieved from a nuisance as disgusting to the olfactories as it is prejudicial to the lungs.
    Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
