Famous quotes containing the words morning and/or glory:
“O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
That for the general safety he despis’d
His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
