Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or lyte:

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
    The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide:
    —Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)
