Famous quotes containing the words fight against, fight and/or tide:

    There is an ancient saying, which is a true one—”To fight against two opponents is a difficult thing.”
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    To fight aloud is very brave—
    But gallanter, I know
    Who charge within the bosom
    The Cavalry of Woe—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    the tide lays down its wet throat
    and alters the land to island—even as I watch
    I say there is no shore
    apart from stories of it,
    no smoke, no hut, no beacon ...
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
