“The religion of the Bible is the best in the world. I see the infinite value of religion. Let it be always encouraged. A world of superstition and folly have grown up around its forms and ceremonies. But the truth in it is one of the deep sentiments in human nature.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Say that it is the serenade
Of a man that plays a blue guitar.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Mortality, behold, and fear,
What a change of flesh is here!
Think how many royal bones
Sleep within this heap of stones,
Hence removed from beds of ease,
Dainty fare, and what might please,”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
“Hear, ye ladies that despise,
What the mighty Love has done;
Fear examples, and be wise:”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625)
