Character Quote by Wilhelm von Humboldt

“The sea has been called deceitful and treacherous, but there lies in this trait only the character of a great natural power, which, to speak according to our own feelings, renews its strength, and, without reference to joy or sorrow, follows eternal laws which are imposed by a higher Power.” quote by Wilhelm von Humboldt
