Famous quotes containing the words study and/or bird:
“A man who would woo a fair maid,
Should prentice himself to the trade;
And study all day,
In methodical way,
How to flatter, cajole, and persuade”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
