Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or finger:

    The world,—this shadow of the soul, or other me, lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult. I grasp the hands of those next to me, and take my place in the ring to suffer and to work, taught by an instinct, that so shall the dumb abyss be vocal with speech.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    the jeweled prize
    always
    at our finger tips.
    We will it so
    and so it is
    past all accident.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
