Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or weight:
“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.”

“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
