Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 107:23-4.

    “They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Again we mistook a little rocky islet seen through the “drisk,” with some taller bare trunks or stumps on it, for the steamer with its smoke-pipes, but as it had not changed its position after half an hour, we were undeceived. So much do the works of man resemble the works of nature. A moose might mistake a steamer for a floating isle, and not be scared till he heard its puffing or its whistle.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
