Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:

    “When the cross blue lightning seemed to open
    The breast of heaven, I did present myself
    Even in the aim and very flash of it.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
    scornful.
    But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he
    meditate day and night.
    And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
    bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
    and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm I (l. I, 1–3)
