Towers

Famous quotes containing the word towers:

    Lay a beam between these two towers of such width as we need to walk on: there is no philosophical wisdom of such great firmness that it can give us courage to walk on it as we should if it were on the ground.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Even great towers start at ground level.
    Chinese proverb.

    From whatever you wish to know and measure you must take your leave, at least for a time. Only when you have left the town can you see how high its towers rise above the houses.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
