Falling

Famous quotes containing the word falling:

    Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    They say that falling in love is wonderful, it’s wonderful, so they say.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    When Jesus wept, the falling tear
    in mercy flowed beyond all bound;
    when Jesus groaned, a trembling fear
    seized all the guilty world around.
    William Billings (1746–1800)
