Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you, and say: “Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you.”
    Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    I see her in the dewy flowers,
    I see her sweet and fair:
    I hear her in the tunefu’ birds,
    I hear her charm the air:
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
    Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays;
    My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream,
    Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
