Famous quotes containing the word sacred:

    “Mary, hear,
    O Mary, marry earth, sea, air and fire;
    Our sacred earth in our day is our curse.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “A hidden strength
    Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
    She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
    And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
    May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d Heaths,
    Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
    Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
    No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
    Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
