Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or trials:
“The god Janus never had two more decidedly different faces than your sea captain.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“... all the cares and anxieties, the trials and disappointments of my whole life, are light, when balanced with my sufferings in childhood and youth from the theological dogmas which I sincerely believed, and the gloom connected with everything associated with the name of religion, the church, the parsonage, the graveyard, and the solemn, tolling bell.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
