Famous quotes containing the words port and/or authority:

    “O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
    But O heart! heart! heart!
    O the bleeding drops of red,
    Where on the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.”
    —Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
