Waters Explained

Famous quotes containing the words waters and/or explained:

    Content thee, howsoe’er, whose days are done;
    There lies not any troublous thing before,
    Nor sight nor sound to war against thee more,
    For whom all winds are quiet as the sun,
    All waters as the shore.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Logicians may reason about abstractions. But the great mass of men must have images. The strong tendency of the multitude in all ages and nations to idolatry can be explained on no other principle.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
