Sweep Oar

Famous quotes containing the words sweep and/or oar:

    For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities—a willing movement of a man’s soul with the larger sweep of the world’s forces—a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.

    There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love—every man works his oar voluntarily!
