Famous quotes containing the words air, force and/or honor:
“As far as I can see, this autumn haze
That spreading in the evening air both ways
Makes the new moon look anything but new
And pours the elm-tree meadow full of blue,
Is all the smoke from one poor house alone....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Freedom is a mans natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (10643 B.C.)
“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so,
On slippry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.”
—Isaac Watts (16741748)
