Oversees

Famous quotes containing the word oversees:

“It is always singular, but encouraging, to meet with common sense in very old books, as the Heetopades of Veeshnoo Sarma; a playful wisdom which has eyes behind as well as before, and oversees itself. It asserts their health and independence of the experience of later times. This pledge of sanity cannot be spared in a book, that it sometimes pleasantly reflect upon itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Bear up, my child, bear up; Zeus who oversees and directs all things is still mighty in heaven.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
