Quotes Life is a voyage. The winds of life come strongFrom every point; yet each will speed thy course along,If thou with steady hand when tempests blowCanst keep thy course aright and never once let go. The Voyage of Life, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). Death is an angel with two faces:To us he turnsA face of terror, blighting all things fair;The other burnsWith glory of the stars, and love is there. A Thanatopsis, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
