Famous quotes containing the words comparative and/or ranks:

    “The utmost familiarity with dead streams, or with the ocean, would not prepare a man for this peculiar navigation; and the most skillful boatman anywhere else would here be obliged to take out his boat and carry round a hundred times, still with great risk, as well as delay, where the practiced batteau-man poles up with comparative ease and safety.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
