Remedial Measure

Famous quotes containing the words remedial and/or measure:

“The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“O flight,
bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,
we measure her by the pine trees.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
