Famous quotes containing the words common and/or fixtures:

    “The course of my long life hath reached at last
    In fragile bark o’er a tempestuous sea
    The common harbor, where must rendered be
    Account for all the actions of the past.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. Our globe seen by God is a transparent law, not a mass of facts. The law dissolves the fact and holds it fluid.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
