Famous quotes containing the words tape and/or head:

    We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the fell clutch of circumstance,
    I have not winced nor cried aloud:
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.
    —W.E. (William Ernest)
