Herbert Began

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or began:

    Sometimes Death, puffing at the doore,
    Blows all the dust about the floore:
    But while he thinks to spoil the room, he sweeps.
    Blest be the Architect, whose art
    Could build so strong in a weak heart.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I noticed, as I had done before, that there was a lull among the mosquitoes about midnight, and that they began again in the morning. Nature is thus merciful. But apparently they need rest as well as we.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
