Famous quotes containing the words strongest and/or storms:
“—No, no thou hast not felt the lapse of hours!
For what wears out the life of mortal men?
‘Tis that from change to change their being rolls;
‘Tis that repeated shocks, again, again,
Exhaust the energy of strongest souls
And numb the elastic powers.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“You don’t need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
