Famous quotes containing the word dear:

“‘Twas that friends, the belov’d of my bosom, were near,
Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear,”

“No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man’s heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)
