Bearing Strength Tarmac

Famous quotes containing the words bearing and/or strength:

“In our most trivial walks, we are constantly, though unconsciously, steering like pilots by certain well-known beacons and headlands, and if we go beyond our usual course we still carry in our minds the bearing of some neighboring cape; and not till we are completely lost, or turned round,—for a man needs only to be turned round once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost,—do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Though strength be wanting, the will to action
Merits praise.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
