Weed Quotes - Page 31

• Huge knots of sea-weed hung upon the jagged and pointed stones, trembling in every breath of wind; and the green ivy clung mournfully round the dark and ruined battlements. Behind it rose the ancient castle, its towers roofless, and its massive walls crumbling away, but telling us proudly of its own might and strength, as when, seven hundred years ago, it rang with the clash of arms, or resounded with the noise of feasting and revelry.

• Arrogance is a weed which grows upon a dunghill; it is from the rankness of the soil that she has her height and spreadings: witness, clowns, fools, and fellows, who from nothing, are lifted up some few steps on fortune's ladder: where, seeing the glorious representment of honour above them, they are so eager to embrace it, that they strive to leap thither at once, and by over-reaching themselves in the way, they fail of the end, and fall.

  Owen Feltham

• I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent
  in any iota of the world;
  I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects,
  vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than
  I have supposed.

• In the deep shadow of the porch
  A slender bind-weed springs,
  And climbs, like airy acrobat,
  The trellises, and swings
  And dances in the golden sun
  In fairy loops and rings.

• The economic miracle that has been the United States was not produced by socialized enterprises, by government-unon-industry cartels or by centralized economic planning. It was produced by private enterprises in a profit-and-loss system. And losses were at least as important in weeding out failures, as profits in fostering successes. Let government succor failures, and we shall be headed for stagnation and decline.
