Passes Beneath

Famous quotes containing the words passes and/or beneath:

    Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors. They are the oldest civilized people on earth. Their civilization passes through phases but its basic characteristics remain the same. They yield, they bend to the wind, but they never break.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    “Please your honors,” said he, “I’m able,
    By means of a secret charm, to draw
    All creatures living beneath the sun,
    That creep, or swim, or fly, or run,
    After me so as you never saw!
    And I chiefly use my charm
    On creatures that do people harm,
    The mole, and toad, and newt, and viper;
    And people call me the Pied Piper.”
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
