Joyous Home

Famous quotes containing the words joyous and/or home:

    In spite of all the learned have said,
    I still my old opinion keep;
    The posture, that we give the dead,
    Points out the soul’s eternal sleep.
    Not so the ancients of these lands—
    The Indian, when from life released,
    Again is seated with his friends,
    And shares again the joyous feast.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but will pick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
