Famous quotes containing the words ray and/or carney:

    These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Little drops of water,
    Little grains of sand,
    Make the mighty ocean
    And the beauteous land.
    —Julia A. Fletcher Carney (1823–1908)
