Windward Leg Length

Famous quotes containing the words leg and/or length:

    “We don’t arrive at it by standing on one leg or on the first day of our setting out—but though we may jostle one another on the way that is no reason why we should strike or trample—elbowing’s enough.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “those far-fet helps be such
    As do bewray a want of inward touch,
    and sure at length stolen goods do come to light.
    But if, both for your love and skill, your name
    You seek to nurse at fullest breasts of Fame,
    Stella behold, and then begin to indite.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
