Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or road:

    There growes the flowre of peace,
    The Rose that cannot wither,
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    Let the torpid Monk seek heaven comfortless and alone—GOD speed him! For my own part, I fear, I should never so find the way: let me be wise and religious—but let me be MAN: wherever thy Providence places me, or whatever be the road I take to get to thee—give me some companion in my journey, be it only to remark to, How our shadows lengthen as the sun goes down.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
