Famous quotes containing the words sea, level and/or rise:
“As the tide crept, the land
burned with a lizard-blue
where the dark sea met the sand.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For the nation’s rise and fall every citizen has a responsibility.”
—Chinese proverb.
