A single breaker may recede; but the tide is evidently coming in.
Thomas B. Macaulay
The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.
Eugen Herrigel
To sigh, yet not recede; to grieve, yet not repent.
George Crabbe
We may either proceed from principles to facts, or recede from facts to principles.
Henry Mayhew
Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.
Robert Burton
