High Tensile Strength

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or strength:

    Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace,
    The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe,
    The poor man’s wealth, the prisoner’s release,
    Th’indifferent judge between the high and low.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love; and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
