Object Complement

Famous quotes containing the words object and/or complement:

    When much intercourse with a friend has supplied us with a standard of excellence, and has increased our respect for the resources of God who thus sends a real person to outgo our ideal; when he has, moreover, become an object of thought, and, whilst his character retains all its unconscious effect, is converted in the mind into solid and sweet wisdom,—it is a sign to us that his office is closing, and he is commonly withdrawn from our sight in a short time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A healthy man, indeed, is the complement of the seasons, and in winter, summer is in his heart.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
