Famous quotes containing the words full and/or result:
“Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
Young Time is taster to Eternity.
The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
Thy golden head never hangs down
Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
As doth the dawn into the day,
As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“As a result of a general defect of nature, we are either more confident or more fearful of unusual and unknown things.”
—Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)
