Reaching

Famous quotes containing the word reaching:

    Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far- reaching in purpose.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Not that success, for him, is sure, infallible.
    But never has he been afraid to reach.
    His lesions are legion.
    But reaching is his rule.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    So he with difficulty and labour hard
    Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
    But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
    Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
    Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
    Paved after him a broad and beaten way
    Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
    Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
    From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
    Of this frail world;
    John Milton (1608–1674)
