Famous quotes containing the word sweet:
“Ice is an interesting subject for contemplation. They told me that they had some in the ice-houses at Fresh Pond five years old which was as good as ever.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Truth and kindness in sweet embrace,
Righteousness and peace are God’s grace;
For truth out of the earth does spring,
And righteousness from heaven ring.”
—Faye T. Bresler (b. 1959)
“I have heard the voice of a hound, just before daylight, while the stars were shining, from over the woods and river, far in the horizon, when it sounded as sweet and melodious as an instrument.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
