Famous quotes containing the words small and/or boat:
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have’t expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“When the boat comes to the bridge, it will go through; when the cart gets to the mountains, there will be a way to get over them.”
—Chinese proverb.
