Famous quotes containing the word guide:

    John Eliot came to preach to the Podunks in 1657, translated the Bible into their language, but made little progress in aboriginal soul-saving. The Indians answered his pleas with: ‘No, you have taken away our lands, and now you wish to make us a race of slaves.’

    ‘Tis much he dares,
    And to that dauntless temper of his mind,
    He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor
    To act in safety.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Reach me a gentian, give me a torch!
    let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of this flower
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
