Enduring Flame

Famous quotes containing the words enduring and/or flame:

“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The flame is not as bright to itself as it is to those it illuminates: so too the sage.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
