Famous quotes containing the words light and/or passing:
“I have my choice: who can wish for more? Free will enables us to do everything well while imposition makes a light burden heavy.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“When as a child I laughed and wept,
Time crept.
When as a youth I waxed more bold,
Time strolled.
When I became a full-grown man,
Time RAN.
When older still I daily grew,
Time FLEW.
Soon I shall find, in passing on,
Time gone.
O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen.”
—Henry Twells (1823–1900)
