Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

    Here lies our Sovereign Lord, the King
    Whose word no man relies on:
    He never said a foolish thing
    Nor ever did a wise one.
    John Wilmot, 2nd Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    So live that when thy summons comes to join
    The innumerable caravan that moves
    To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
    His chamber in the silent halls of death,
    Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
    Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
    By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
    Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
    About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    You must put fear out of your mind. Confront it with the belief that the past is over with, that a new life lies ahead.
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)
