Mount Pleasant Road

Famous quotes containing the words mount, pleasant and/or road:

    But mount to paradise
    By the stairway of surprise.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What slender youth, bedewed with liquid odours
    Courts thee on roses in some pleasant cave,
    Pyrrha? For whom bind’st thou
    In wreaths thy golden hair,
    Plain in thy neatness?
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    Youth is rather to be pitied than envied by people in years since it is doomed to toil through the rugged road of life which the others have passed through, in search of happiness that is not to be met with in it and that, at the highest, can be compounded for only by the blessing of a contented mind.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
