Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or relations:

    We should meet each morning, as from foreign countries, and spending the day together, should depart at night, as into foreign countries.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
