Famous quotes containing the words elevated, closed and/or april:

    “What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other’s presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A closed mouth catches no flies.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    ““10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
