Famous quotes containing the words degrees, posts and/or held:

    By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Get posts and letters, and make friends with speed;
    Never so few, and never yet more need.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You held my hand
    and were instant to explain
    the three rings of danger.
