Significant Wave Height

Famous quotes containing the words significant, wave and/or height:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity.

World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“I hear
the tide turning. Last
eager wave over-
taken and pulled back
by first wave of the ebb.”

“The height of cleverness is being able to conceal it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
