Blessed

Famous quotes containing the word blessed:

“That, if I chance to hold my peace,
These stones to praise thee may not cease.
Oh let thy blessed sacrifice be mine,
And sanctify this altar to be thine.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

“What blessed you
that you sit,
sedately no harlot
a witness
as years pass,
to beauty?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
