Calm

Famous quotes containing the word calm:

    It is one of the prodigious privileges of art that the horrific, artistically expressed, becomes beauty, and that sorrow, given rhythm and cadence, fills the spirit with a calm joy.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    In the years of President Ford
    Decorum and calm were restored.
    He did nothing hateful
    For which we were grateful
    But terribly, terribly bored.
    Anonymous.

    You make yourselves out to be shepherds of the flock and yet you allow your sheep to live in filth and poverty. And if they try and raise their voices against it, you calm them by telling them their suffering is the will of God. Sheep, indeed. Are we sheep to be herded and sheared by a handful of owners? I was taught man was made in the image of God, not a sheep.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
