Sable/behaviour

Famous quotes containing the words sable and/or behaviour:

    My faith shall wax, when thou art in thy waning.
    The world shall find this miracle in me,
    That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
    Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
    And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
    Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
    When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    When we read of human beings behaving in certain ways, with the approval of the author, who gives his benediction to this behaviour by his attitude towards the result of the behaviour arranged by himself, we can be influenced towards behaving in the same way.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
