Points Hand

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or hand:

    Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    Pride and humiliation hand in hand
    Walked with them through the world where’er they went;
    Trampled and beaten were they as the sand,
    And yet unshaken as the continent.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
