Compass Bearing

Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or bearing:

“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)

“I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burthens.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
