Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or measures:
“The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place; and night after night a mans bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.”

That how we live measures our own nature,
And at his age having no more to show
Than one hired box should make him pretty sure
He warranted no better,”
