Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or household:
“When worse may yet befall, theres room for prayer,
But when our fortunes at its lowest ebb,
We trample fear beneath our feet, and live
Without a fear of evil yet to come.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own. It would indeed give me a certain household joy to quit this lofty seeking, this spiritual astronomy, or search of stars, and come down to warm sympathies with you; but then I know well I shall mourn always the vanishing of my mighty gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
