Adam Green Argues

Famous quotes containing the words adam, green and/or argues:

“What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler’s trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar’s garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“the absolute flight and rest
The universal blue
And local green suggest.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“A wit should no more be sincere, than a woman constant; one argues a decay of parts, as t’other of beauty.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
