High Power

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or power:

    “There, do not start,
    child, nor toss about;
    only calm and high pride
    can help your hurt:
    fate tries all alike.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
