“The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. ”
“The lowest ebb brings the highest tide.”
“Don`t descend to the lowest ebb.”
“There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.”
“It's said that the worst thing one can do to a man is to kill his self-respect. But that's not true. Self-respect is something that can't be killed. The worst thing is to kill a man's pretense at it.”
