Golden Bird

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bird:

    Ah, Sun-flower, weary of time,
    Who countest the steps of the Sun,
    Seeking after that sweet golden clime
    Where the traveller’s journey is done:
    Where the Youth pined away with desire,
    And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
    Arise from their graves, and aspire
    Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.
    —Lady Bird Johnson (b. 1912)
