Famous quotes containing the word dew:
“We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the morn and liquid dew of youth
Contagious blastments are most imminent.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For never yet one hour in his bed
Did I enjoy the golden dew of sleep,
But with his timorous dreams was still awaked.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
