Eternal Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or alliance:

    Were I laid on Greenland’s Coast,
    And in my Arms embrac’d my Lass;
    Warm amidst eternal Frost,
    Too soon the Half Year’s Night would pass.
    John Gay (1685–1732)

    Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
