Famous quotes containing the word visible:
“One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.”
—Victor Hugo (18021885)
“To him who, in the love of Nature, holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language: for his gayer hours”
—William Cullen Bryant (17941878)
“But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the way-side as we walk; in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says,Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
