Port Arthur Shipbuilding

Famous quotes containing the words port and/or arthur:

    It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    So let man consider of what he was created;
    he was created of gushing water
    issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.
    Qur’An. The Night-Star, 86:5-7, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
