Higher Roe

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or roe:

    Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    All day long in unrest,
    To and fro do I move,
    The very soul within my breast
    Is wasted for you, love!
    —Owen Roe MacWard (d. 1849)
