Banks

Famous quotes containing the word banks:

    I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    I live for those who love me,
    Whose hearts are kind and true;
    For the Heaven that smiles above me,
    And awaits my spirit too;
    For all human ties that bind me,
    For the task by God assigned me,
    For the bright hopes yet to find me,
    And the good that I can do.
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)

    For the wrong that needs resistance,
    For the future in the distance,
    And the good that I can do.
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
