Slow Stones

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or stones:

    Sorrow is hard to bear, and doubt is slow to clear,
    Each sufferer says his say, his scheme of the weal and woe:
    But God has a few of us whom he whispers in the ear;
    The rest may reason and welcome; ‘tis we musicians know.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Man is made of the same atoms the world is, he shares the same impressions, predispositions, and destiny. When his mind is illuminated, when his heart is kind, he throws himself joyfully into the sublime order, and does, with knowledge, what the stones do by structure.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
