Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or precedence:
“Thou shalt make thy house
The temple of a nation’s vows.
Spirits of a higher strain
Who sought thee once shall seek again.
I detected many a god
Forth already on the road,
Ancestors of beauty come
In thy breast to make a home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
