Famous quotes containing the words crest and/or hill:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”

“John Anderson my jo, John,
We clamb the hill the gither;
And mony a canty day, John,
Weve had wi ane anither:
Now we maun totter down, John,
And hand in hand well go;
And sleep the gither at the foot,
John Anderson my Jo.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
