Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair,
    The midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar;
    Invades the sacred hour of silent rest
    And leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
    Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 22:13.

    Almost the same words are found in 1 Corinthians 15:32, and both verses are frequently confused with Ecclesiastes 8:15: “A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.”
