Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or earth:
“We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Grace! ‘tis a charming Sound,
Harmonious to my Ear!
Heav’n with the Echo shall resound,
And all the Earth shall hear.”
—Philip Doddridge (1702–1751)
