High Assurance

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or assurance:

    “A ward, and still in bonds, one day
    I stole abroad;
    It was high spring, and all the way
    Primrosed and hung with shade;
    Yet was it frost within,
    And surly winds
    Blasted my infant buds, and sin
    Like clouds eclipsed my mind.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
