Covered

Famous quotes containing the word covered:

“Humility is the sure evidence of Christian virtues. Without it, we retain all our faults still, and they are only covered over with pride, which hides them from other men’s observation, and sometimes from our own too.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“While the body’s life, deep as a covered well,
Instinctive as the wind, busy as May,
Burns out a secret passageway to hell.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
