Spring Sails

Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or sails:

“I love to weigh, to settle, to gravitate toward that which most strongly and rightfully attracts me;Mnot hang by the beam of the scale and try to weigh less,—not suppose a case, but take the case that is; to travel the only path I can, and that on which no power can resist me. It affords me no satisfaction to commence to spring an arch before I have got a solid foundation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Fair stood the wind for France,
When we our sails advance,
Nor now to prove our chance
Longer will tarry;”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
