Final Resting Place

Famous quotes containing the words final, resting and/or place:

    By his mere quiet power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    I am constant as the northern star,
    Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
    There is no fellow in the firmament.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.
