Flames

Famous quotes containing the word flames:

“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Kick up the fire, and let the flames break loose
To drive the shadows back;
Prolong the talk on this or that excuse....”

Repentance is but want of power to sin.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
