Famous quotes containing the words stokes, flow and/or sphere:

    Some pray to marry the man they love,
    My prayer will somewhat vary;
    I humbly pray to Heaven above
    That I love the man I marry.
    —Rose Pastor Stokes (1879–1933)

    Opinionated writing is always the most difficult ... simply because it involves retaining in the cold morning-after crystal of the printed word the burning flow of molten feeling.
    Gavin Lyall (b. 1932)

    No person can be considered as possessing a good education without religion. A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be.
    Ann Plato (1820–?)
