Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or extremity:

    But that beginning was wiped out in fear
    The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
    And was come after like Eurydice
    And brought down safely from the upper regions;
    And the life I live now’s an extra life
    I can waste as I please on whom I please.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.
    John Flavel (1630–1691)
