Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:

    “the children call, and I
    Thy shepherd pipe, and sweet is every sound,
    Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet;
    Myriads of rivulets hurrying through the lawn,
    The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
    And murmuring of innumerable bees.’”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.”
    —Morning Prayer, General Confession, Book of Common Prayer (1662)
