Hoary

Famous quotes containing the word hoary:

    The hearts that would have given their blood like water,
    Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar.
    Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand:
    But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.
    John Galt (1877–1957)

    The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 16:31.

    As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,
    Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
    And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
    A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
