Blessed

Famous quotes containing the word blessed:

    Had I but died an hour before this chance,
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant

    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.

    Will ye gang to the high heavens,
    Wi my dear son and me?”
    —Unknown. Brown Robyn’s Confession (l. 23–28)

    In this mortal life, nothing is blessed throughout.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
