Blessed

Famous quotes containing the word blessed:

“What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the
tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored
taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous
to demand the time of the day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The first ones ever, oh, ever to know
of the rising of Jesus, his glory to be,
were Mary, Joanna, and Magdalene,
and blessed are they are they who see.”
—Linda Wilberger Egan (b. 1946)

“Oh, may she deign to stand at my bedside
When I come to die; and may she call to me
And draw me to her in the blessed place!”
—Petrarch (1304–1374)
