Famous quotes containing the words deadliest and/or storms:

    The deadliest foe to virtue would be complete self-knowledge.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)

    The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws; and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
