Greater

Famous quotes containing the word greater:

    There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.
    George Washington (1732–1799)

    A blind man. I can stare at him
    ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
    No, he is in a great solitude.
    O, strange joy,
    to gaze my fill at a stranger’s face.
    No, my thirst is greater than before.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
