Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I would to God thou and I knew where a commodity of good names were to be bought.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
