Famous quotes containing the words wood, pilot, creatures and/or small:
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”

Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.”
