Famous quotes containing the words samuel and/or smiles:

    Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 15:22.

    Beneath the sun’s rays our shadow is our comrade;
    When clouds obscure the sun our shadow flees.

    But swift is gone whenever she veils her face.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
