Chisholm Young

Famous quotes containing the words chisholm and/or young:

    Great is your faithfulness, O God, Creator,
    with you no shadow of turning we see.
    You do not change, your compassions they fail not;
    all of your goodness forever will be.
    —Thomas O. Chisholm (1866–1960)

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
