“Worm or beetle -- drought or tempest -- on a farmer's land may fall,Each is loaded full o' ruin, but a mortgage beats 'em all.”
Will Carleton
“Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But lust's effect is tempest after sun; Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeit's not, Lust like a glutton dies, Love is all truth, Lust full”
William Shakespeare
“The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier”
Sir Walter Scott
“Me howling blasts drive devious, tempest-tossed, / Sails ripped, seams opening wide, and compass lost.”
William Cowper
“When tempest tossed, embrace chaos”
Dean Koontz
“[Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.”
Jackie Robinson
