Famous quotes containing the words century and/or maps:

    A friend to all is a friend to none.
    —18th century English proverb, collected in Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia (1732)

    And now good morrow to our waking souls,
    Which watch not one another out of fear;
    For love all love of other sights controls,
    And makes one little room an everywhere.
    Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
    Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
    Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
