Famous quotes containing the words sustained and/or winds:
“Quickness comes from long sustained effort after rightness, and comes unsought. It never comes from effort after quickness.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
