Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or power:

    “The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,

    I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
    I sat now, for the wind was still.”
    —Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    “The tendency of things runs steadily to this point, namely, to put every man on his merits, and to give him so much power as he naturally exerts,—no more, no less.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
