Eastern Portion

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or portion:

    The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
    Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
