Famous quotes containing the words the highest, highest, mountains and/or norway:

    “A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “He who lets the tiger go back to the mountains will surely suffer later on.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Such was the very armor he had on
    When he the ambitious Norway combated.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
