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 (18861961)
“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 (18031882)
