Famous quotes containing the word powers:

    All the powers of imagination combine in hypochondria.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The poet is the person in whom these powers are in balance, the man without impediment, who sees and handles that which others dream of, traverses the whole scale of experience, and is representative of man, in virtue of being the largest power to receive and to impart.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And as the sun above the light doth bring,
    Though we behold it in the air below,
    So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
    Though in the body she her powers do show.
    Sir John Davies (1569–1626)
