Famous quotes containing the word covers:

    “In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.”
    —Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340–402)

    “Here a pretty Baby lies
    Sung asleep with Lullabies:
    Pray be silent, and not stirre
    Th’ easie earth that covers her.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
