Tropical Storm Force

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or force:

    When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.”

    Thus thinne and lean without a fence or friend,
    I was blown through with ev’ry storm and winde.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Sentiment is the mightiest force in civilization; not sentimentality, but sentiment. Women will bring this into politics. Home, sweet home, is as powerful on the hustings as at the fireside.
    J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
