Famous quotes containing the words sisters, holy and/or family:
“Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
Why have my sisters husbands if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“When one family builds a wall, two families benefit from it.”
—Chinese proverb.
