Famous quotes containing the word shelters:

Happier, if he know the solemnity of that relation, and honor its law! He offers himself a candidate for that covenant comes up, like an Olympian, to the great games, where the first- born of the world are the competitors.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
