Famous quotes containing the word journeys:
“Traveller take heed for journeys undertaken in the dark of the year.
Go in the bright blaze of Autumn’s equinox.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
“A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
