Eternal Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or alliance:

“What seems to be, is, to those to whom
It seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful
Consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of
Torments, despair, eternal death.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
