Famous quotes containing the words current and/or laws:

    “You are the current of the frozen stream,
    Shadow invisible, ambushed and vigilant flame.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The life of a good man will hardly improve us more than the life of a freebooter, for the inevitable laws appear as plainly in the infringement as in the observance, and our lives are sustained by a nearly equal expense of virtue of some kind. The decaying tree, while yet it lives, demands sun, wind, and rain no less than the green one. It secretes sap and performs the functions of health. If we choose, we may study the alburnum only. The gnarled stump has as tender a bud as the sapling.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
