Wave Theory

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or theory:

    “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)

    “The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend.”
    —Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
