Reaching

Famous quotes containing the word reaching:

    So he with difficulty and labour hard
    Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
    But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
    Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
    Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
    Paved after him a broad and beaten way
    Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
    Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
    From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
    Of this frail world;
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far- reaching in purpose.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    I told him this is a pleasant life,
    To set your breast to the bark of trees
    That all your days are dim beneath,
    And reaching up with a little knife,
    To loose the resin and take it down
    And bring it to market when you please.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
