Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or earthquake:

“Government exists to defend the weak and the poor and the injured party; the rich and the strong can better take care of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
