Famous quotes containing the words ports and and/or ports:

    “All places that the eye of heaven visits
    Are to a wise man ports and happy havens.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It is true, we are such poor navigators that our thoughts, for the most part, stand off and on upon a harborless coast, are conversant only with the bights of the bays of poesy, or steer for the public ports of entry, and go into the dry docks of science, where they merely refit for this world, and no natural currents concur to individualize them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
