Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or set:
“We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any point and to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“But at the coming of the King of Heaven
All’s set at six and seven:
We wallow in our sin;
Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.”
—Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)
