Fair World

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or world:

    The heavens hold firm
    The walls of thy dear honor; keep unshaked
    That temple, thy fair mind, that thou mayst stand
    T’ enjoy thy banished lord and this great land!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Is it not singular that, while the religious world is gradually picking to pieces its old testaments, here are some coming slowly after, on the seashore, picking up the durable relics of perhaps older books, and putting them together again?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
