Precious

Famous quotes containing the word precious:

“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betray’d.

Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

That riches grow in hell; that soil may best
Deserve the precious bane.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
