Billows Quotes


Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty billows of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, and pass themselves by.

- Saint Augustine
