Reef Formed

Famous quotes containing the words reef and/or formed:

“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Sighing that Nature formed but one such man,
And broke the die.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
