World Lines

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or lines:

    I did not live until this time
    Crown’d my felicity,
    When I could say without a crime,
    I am not thine, but Thee.

    This carcase breath’d, and walkt, and slept,
    So that the World believ’d
    There was a soul the motions kept;
    But they were all deceiv’d.
    Katherine Philips (1631–1664)

    Indeed, I believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair part of commerce upon the sea, and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade, that these railroads from St. Louis, touching deep harbors on the gulf, and communicating there with lines of steamships, shall touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
