Famous quotes containing the words harbor and/or craft:

    The disabusing a man strongly possessed with an opinion of his own worth is the very same ill office that was done to the fool at Athens, who fancied all the ships that came into the harbor were his own.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one’s own advantage and to that of one’s craft that a large part of genius consists.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
