Common Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or prayers:

    “But neither milk-white rose nor red
    May bloom in prison air;
    The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
    Are what they give us there:
    For flowers have been known to heal
    A common man’s despair.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The prayers of cowards fortune spurns.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
