Rose Porter Stokes

Famous quotes containing the words rose, porter and/or stokes:

    When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion.
    —Cole Porter (1893–1964)

    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)
