Ensuing Possession

Famous quotes containing the words ensuing and/or possession:

“In the declining day the thoughts make haste to rest in darkness, and hardly look forward to the ensuing morning. The thoughts of the old prepare for night and slumber. The same hopes and prospects are not for him who stands upon the rosy mountain-tops of life, and him who expects the setting of his earthly day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue until we notice its total absence in our opponent.”
