Dear

Famous quotes containing the word dear:

    Dear common flower, that grow’st beside the way,
    Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold,
    First pledge of blithesome May,
    Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold,
    Hight-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they
    An Eldorado in the grass have found,
    Which not the rich earth’s ample round
    May match in wealth—thou art more dear to me
    Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    But from the good health of the mind comes that which is dear to all and the object of prayer—happiness.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    But nothing satisfied the fool
    But my dear Mary Moore,
    None other knows what pleasures man
    At table or in bed.
    What shall I do for pretty girls
    Now my old bawd is dead?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
