Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or fame:

    “Go where he will, the wise man is at home,
    His hearth the earth,—his hall the azure dome;
    Where his clear spirit leads him, there’s his road,
    By God’s own light illumined and foreshadowed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth
    A Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown,
    Fair Science frown’d not on his humble birth,
    And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
