Famous quotes containing the word peaceful:

    “And thus they give the time, that Nature meant
    For peaceful sleep and meditative snores,
    To ceaseless din and mindless merriment
    And waste of shoes and floors.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Thus Belial, with words clothed in reason’s garb,
    Counseled ignoble ease, and peaceful sloth,
    Not peace.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
