Leaving

Famous quotes containing the word leaving:

“Let God alone if need be. Methinks, if I loved him more, I should keep him—I should keep myself rather—at a more respectful distance. It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover that God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know whom I mean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I steer my bark with Hope in the head, leaving Fear astern.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
