Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or father:
“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.)
“Not today, O Lord,
O not today, think not upon the fault
My father made in compassing the crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
