Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or depths:

    ... it is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so.

    my father moved through dooms of love
    through sames of am through haves of give,
    singing each morning out of each night
    my father moved through depths of height
