Famous quotes containing the words coast and/or path:
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“The path of things is silent. Will they suffer a speaker to go with them?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
