Famous quotes containing the words missed and/or double:
“The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we have missed somethingwar. This life of ours is a very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce.”

“The Cossack eats Poland,
Like stolen fruit;
Her last noble is ruined,
Her last poet mute:
Straight, into double band
The victors divide;
Half for freedom strike and stand;
The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
