Highly Auspicious Signs

Famous quotes containing the words highly, auspicious and/or signs:

    There may be an excess of cultivation as well as of anything else, until civilization becomes pathetic. A highly cultivated man,—all whose bones can be bent! whose heaven-born virtues are but good manners!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I find my zenith doth depend upon
    A most auspicious star, whose influence
    If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes
    Will ever after droop.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    So saying, her rash hand in evil hour
    Forth-reaching to the Fruit, she plucked, she eat.
    Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat,
    Sighing through all her works, gave signs of woe
    That all was lost.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
