Lowest Distance

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or distance:

    When worse may yet befall, there’s room for prayer,
    But when our fortune’s at its lowest ebb,
    We trample fear beneath our feet, and live
    Without a fear of evil yet to come.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
