Famous quotes containing the words grace and/or paley:

    We raised a simple prayer
    Before we left the spot,
    That in the general mowing
    That place might be forgot;
    Or if not all so favored,
    Obtain such grace of hours
    That none should mow the grass there
    While so confused with flowers.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The word career is a divisive word. It’s a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
    —Grace Paley (b. 1922)
