Famous quotes containing the word fountains:
“The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No more be grieved at that which thou hast done,
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this,
Authorizing thy trespass with compare,
My self corrupting salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that peace begets.”
—Unknown. Weep You No More, Sad Fountains (l. 10–11)
