Distant Waters

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or waters:

    A short letter to a distant friend is, in my opinion, an insult like that of a slight bow or cursory salutation—a proof of unwillingness to do much, even where there is a necessity of doing something.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    They that goe downe to ‘th sea in ships:
    Their busines there to doo
    In waters great. The Lords work see,
    I’th deep his wonders too.
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CVII (Bay Psalm Book)
