High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
    your hands have touched us
    you have leaned forward a little
    and the waves can never thrust us back
    from the splendour of your ragged coast.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
