Appointed Captain

Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or captain:

    If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
    Bible: Hebrew Job 14:14.

    So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
