Famous quotes containing the word appointed:
“Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs?
And We created you in pairs,
and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
and We appointed night for a garment,
and We appointed day for a livelihood.
And We have built above you seven strong ones,
and We appointed a blazing lamp
and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
and gardens luxuriant.”
—Quran, The Tiding 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“Mud unto mud!Death eddies near
Not here the appointed End, not here!
But somewhere, beyond Space and Time,
Is wetter water, slimier slime!”
—Rupert Brooke (18871915)
“The meeting, in spite of my attempt to decline it, appointed me one of the delegates, so that in getting Baker the nomination, I shall be fixed a good deal like a fellow who is made groomsman to the man what has cut him out, and is marrying his own dear gal.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
