Funeral Tomorrow

Famous quotes containing the words funeral and/or tomorrow:

    I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    Brittle beauty that nature made so frail,
    Whereof the gift is small, and short the season,
    Flow’ring today, tomorrow apt to fail,
    Tickle treasure, abhorred of reason,
    Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail,
    Costly in keeping, passed not worth two peason,
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
