Closely

Famous quotes containing the word closely:

“[Government’s] true strength consists in leaving individuals and states as much as possible to themselves—in making itself felt, not in its power, but in its beneficence, not in its control, but in its protection, not in binding the states more closely to the center, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

“Let us together closely lie, and kisse,
There is no labour, nor no shame in this;
This hath pleas’d, doth please, and long will please; never
Can this decay, but is beginning ever.”
—Petronius Arbiter (d.A.D. 66)

“Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
