Fixed Base

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or base:

    Marriage is the clue to human life, but there is no marriage apart from the wheeling sun and the nodding earth, from the straying of the planets and the magnificence of the fixed stars.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Study is like the heaven’s glorious sun,
    That will not be deep searched with saucy looks;
    Small have continual plodders ever won,
    Save base authority from others’ books.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
