Quotations for rolls

The tidal wave of deepest souls
Into our inmost being rolls,
And lifts us unawares
Out of all meaner cares. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Money calls, but does not stay:
It is round and rolls away. [ Proverb ]

Time rolls his ceaseless course. [ Scott ]

How beautiful is night!
A dewy freshness fills the silent air.
No mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain
Breaks the serene heaven:
In full-orb'd glory yonder moon divine
Rolls through the dark blue depths.
Beneath her steady ray
The desert circle spreads,
Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky.
How beautiful is night! [ Southey ]

The wheel of time rolls downward through various changes. [ Silius Italicus ]

And never shall the sons of Columbia be slaves.
While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves. [ Robert Treat Paine ]

While black with storms the ruffled ocean rolls, and from the fisher's art defends her finny shoals. [ Sir R. Blackmore ]

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Nothing is annihilated, no, nothing; matter, like an ever-flowing stream, still rolls on undiminished. [ Boucher ]

Soul rolls away the mist from his eyes, and the very spot selected as the receptacle of his tears, becomes the place of his highest rapture. [ J. T. Headley ]

Every breeze wafts intelligence from country to country, every wave rolls it, all give it forth, and all in turn receive it. There is a vast commerce of ideas, there are marts and exchanges for intellectual discoveries, and a wonderful fellowship of those individual intelligences which make up the mind and opinion of the age. [ Daniel Webster ]
