Christian August

Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or august:

    O, I have passed a miserable night,
    So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights,
    That, as I am a Christian faithful man,
    I would not spend another such a night
    Though ‘twere to buy a world of happy days,
    So full of dismal terror was the time.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    That is the thankless position of the father in the family—the provider for all, and the enemy of all.
