Grace Live Long

Famous quotes containing the words grace, live and/or long:

    But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace without grandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,—which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged cloud, overflow with terrible beauty, and emit lightnings on all beholders.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Come live with me, and be my love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism—despotism during the campaign—is indispensable.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
