Pitcher Won

Famous quotes containing the words pitcher and/or won:

    Indolence is heaven’s ally here,
    And energy the child of hell:
    The Good Man pouring from his pitcher clear
    But brims the poisoned well.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    If the world is a precipitation of human nature, so to speak, then the divine world is a sublimation of the same. Both occur in one act. No precipitation without sublimation. What goes lost there in agility, is won here.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
