Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or bound:
“Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am bound to tell what I am told, but not in every case to believe it.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
