High Peaks

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or peaks:

    Though with their high wrongs I am struck to the quick,
    Yet with my nobler reason ‘gainst my fury
    Do I take part. The rarer action is
    In virtue than in vengeance.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation—the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honour, Duty, Patriotism, and, clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven.
    David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
