Shine

Famous quotes containing the word shine:

“He may not shine with courtly graces,
But yet, his kind, respectful air
To woman, whatsoe’er her place is,
It might be well if kings could share.
So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
Give me, I say, our own American.”

Abate thy hours, shine comforts from the east.”
