Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 107:23-4.

    “...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
    —Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)

    “His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
