Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or frame:

    A self is, by its very essence, a being with a past. One must look lengthwise backwards in the stream of time in order to see the self, or its shadow, now moving with the stream, now eddying in the currents from bank to bank of its channel, and now strenuously straining onwards in the pursuit of its chosen good.
    Josiah Royce (1855–1916)

    We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
