Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or built:
“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
“All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
