Head Onward

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or onward:

    He was thoughtful and grave—but the orders he gave
    Were enough to bewilder a crew.
    When he cried “Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!”
    What on earth was the helmsman to do?
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
