Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “‘Whence thou return’st, and whither wentst, I know;
    For God is also in sleep; and dreams advise,
    Which he hath sent propitious, some great good
    Presaging, since, with sorrow and heart’s distress,
    Wearied I fell asleep: but now lead on;
    In me is no delay; without thee here to stay,
    Is to go hence unwilling; thou to me
    Art all things under Heaven, all places thou,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “All places are distant from heaven alike.”
    —Robert Burton (1577–1640)
