Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    God sent children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race—to enlarge our hears; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affections; to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion; and to bring round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts.
    Mary Botham Howitt (20th century)

    The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home;
    ‘Tis summer, the darkeys are gay;
    The corn-top’s ripe, and the meadow’s in the bloom,
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

    I walk down the garden-paths,
    And all the daffodils
    Are blowing, and the bright blue squills.
    Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
