Hart Foundation Lost

Famous quotes containing the words hart, foundation and/or lost:

    Come, ye Sinners, poor and wretched,
    Weak and wounded, sick and sore.
    Jesus ready stands to save you,
    Full of Pity join’d with Pow’r.
    He is able, he is able, he is able;
    He is willing: doubt no more.
    —Joseph Hart (1712–1768)

    The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.
    Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    And though in tinsel chain and popcorn rope
    My tree, a captive in your window bay,
    Has lost its footing on my mountain slope
    And lost the stars of heaven, may, oh, may
    The symbol star it lifts against your ceiling
    Help me accept its fate with Christmas feeling.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
