Enterprise Incident

Famous quotes containing the words enterprise and/or incident:

“Rivers must have been the guides which conducted the footsteps of the first travelers. They are the constant lure, when they flow by our doors, to distant enterprise and adventure; and, by a natural impulse, the dwellers on their banks will at length accompany their currents to the lowlands of the globe, or explore at their invitation the interior of continents.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What is character but the determination of incident? What is incident but the illustration of character?”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
