Navigation adds new worlds to the old. [ S. Cabot ]
By navigation new worlds are made known. [ J. G. Zarco ]
Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. [ Goldsmith ]
A single soul is richer than all the worlds. [ Alexander Smith ]
The stars shall fade away, the Sun himself
Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years;
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
Unhurt amid the war of elements,
The wreck of matter, and the crash of worlds. [ Joseph Addison ]
Sunbeams pour alike their glorious tide
To light up worlds or wake an insect's mirth. [ Keble ]
O cursed lust of gold! when for thy sake
The fool throws up his interest in both worlds. [ Blair ]
The immortal mind, superior to his fate.
Amid the outrage of external things,
Firm as the solid base of this great world.
Rests on his own foundation. Blow, ye winds!
Ye waves! ye thunders! roll your tempests on!
Shake, ye old pillars of the marble sky!
Till at its orbs and all its worlds of fire
Be loosen'd from their seats; yet still serene,
The unconquer'd mind looks down upon the wreck;
And ever stronger as the storms advance,
Firm through the closing ruin holds his way,
When nature calls him to the destined goal. [ Akenside ]
Grasp the whole worlds of reason, lip and sense,
In one close system of benevolence. [ Pope ]
How is night's sable mantle labored over.
How richly wrought with attributes divine!
What wisdom shines! what love! this midnight pomp.
This gorgeous arch, with golden worlds inlaid!
Built with divine ambition. [ Young ]
A tomb is a monument placed on the limits of two worlds. [ Bernardin de St. Pierre ]
Everything is for the best, in this best of possible worlds. [ Proverb ]
Oh, the little more, and how much it is! and the little less, and what worlds away! [ Browning ]
O cursed lust of gold; when for thy sake The fool throws up his interest in both worlds, First starved in this, then damn'd in that to come. [ Blair ]
The nearer I approach the end, the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous, yet simple. [ Victor Hugo ]
The contemplation of night should lead to elevating, rather than depressing, ideas. Who can fix his mind on transitory and earthly things, in presence of those glittering myriads of worlds; and who can dread death or solitude in the midst of this brilliant, animated universe? [ Richter ]
The contemplation of night should lead to elevating rather than to depressing ideas. Who can fix his mind on transitory and earthly things, in presence of those glittering myriads of worlds; and who can dread death or solitude in the midst of this brilliant, animated universe, composed of countless suns and worlds, all full of light and life and motion? [ Richter ]
When I consider what some books have done for the world, and what they are doing, how they keep up our hope, awaken new courage and faith, soothe pain, give an ideal life to those whose hours are cold and hard, bind together distant ages and foreign lands, create new worlds of beauty, bring down truth from heaven; I give eternal blessings for this gift, and thank God for books.
