Famous quotes containing the words pilot and/or tone:

“The river knows the way to the sea;
Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”

“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
