Utmost

Famous quotes containing the word utmost:

“Caught by the spectacle my mind turned round
As with the might of waters; an apt type
This label seemed of the utmost we can know,
Both of ourselves and of the universe;
And, on the shape of that unmoving man,
His steadfast face and sightless eyes, I gazed,
As if admonished from another world.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Here is my journey’s end, here is my butt
And very sea-mark of my utmost sail.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Love in the abstract is not enough for a great man in poverty; he has need of its utmost devotion.... She who is really a wife, one in heart, flesh, and bone, must follow wherever he leads, in whom her life, her strength, her pride, and happiness are centered.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
