Quotes about swells (16 Quotes)


    Oh, never this whelming east wind swells
    But it seems like the sea's return

There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace.

    What is there that confers the noblest delight What is that which swells a man's breast with pride above that which any other experience can bring to him Discovery To know that you are walking where none others have walked . . .
