Drew Brees Passed

Famous quotes containing the words drew and/or passed:

    struggled scarce—
    Consented, and was dead—

    And We—We placed the Hair—
    And drew the Head erect—
    And then an awful leisure was
    Belief to regulate—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    After years of vain familiarity, some distant gesture or unconscious behavior, which we remember, speaks to us with more emphasis than the wisest or kindest words. We are sometimes made aware of a kindness long passed, and realize that there have been times when our Friends’ thoughts of us were of so pure and lofty a character that they passed over us like the winds of heaven unnoticed; when they treated us not as what we were, but as what we aspired to be.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
