Famous quotes containing the words high and/or court:

    “It is not their bones or hide or tallow that I love most. It is the living spirit of the tree, not its spirit of turpentine, with which I sympathize, and which heals my cuts. It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
    To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
    To seem a statesman.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
