Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or points:

    “It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
    Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam—
    True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
