Famous quotes containing the word ruddy:

    In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The richest of all lords is Use,
    And ruddy Health the loftiest Muse.
    Live in the sunshine, swim the sea,
    Drink the wild air’s salubrity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    You are my true and honorable wife,
    As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
    That visit my sad heart.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
