Famous quotes containing the word summit:

    “What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
    Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
    That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
    And there assume some other horrible form
    Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
    And draw you into madness?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The light that shined upon the summit now seems almost to shine at our feet.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
