Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or creation:
“Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.”
—Gordon, 1st Baron Of Bury Hewart (1870–1943)
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
