Famous quotes containing the words news and/or regions:
“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”

“Within the regions of the air,
Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
