Famous quotes containing the words wear and/or crowns:
“Thus inevitably does the universe wear our color, and every object fall successively into the subject itself. The subject exists, the subject enlarges; all things sooner or later fall into place. As I am, so I see; use what language we will, we can never say anything but what we are; Hermes, Cadmus, Columbus, Newton, Bonaparte, are the mind’s ministers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Possession, it is true, crowns exertion with rest; but it is only in the illusions of fancy that it has power to charm us.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
