Famous quotes containing the word key:

    This is the Key of the Kingdom:
    In that Kingdom is a city;
    —Unknown. This Is the Key (l. 1–2)

    At the last, tenderly,
    From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
    From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
    Let me be wafted.

    Let me glide noiselessly forth;
    With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
    Set ope the doors O soul.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The word “forbearance” is the key to a happy home.
    Chinese proverb.
