Famous quotes containing the words china and/or sky:
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“When the sky is clear, carry an umbrella; though your stomach is full, carry provisions.”
—Chinese proverb.
