High Spin Rate

Famous quotes containing the words high, spin and/or rate:

    “What generous beliefs console
    The brave whom Fate denies the goal!
    If others reach it, is content:
    To Heaven’s high will his will is bent.
    Firm on his heart relied,
    What lot soe’er betide,
    Work of his hand
    He nor repents nor grieves,
    Pleads for itself the fact,
    As unrepenting Nature leaves
    Her every act.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In tragic life, God wot,
    No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
    We are betrayed by what is false within.”
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    “We honor motherhood with glowing sentimentality, but we don’t rate it high on the scale of creative occupations.”
    —Leontine Young (20th century)
