Wave Guide Port

Famous quotes containing the words wave, guide and/or port:

    “As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide to the future.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “How happy is the sailor’s life,
    From coast to coast to roam;
    In every port he finds a wife,
    In every land a home.”
    —Isaac Bickerstaffe (c. 1735–1812)
