Famous quotes containing the words launch and/or vehicles:

    “Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
    and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
    in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
    with its store of food and little cooking pans
    and change of clothes,”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
