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 (18031882)
