Famous quotes containing the words question and/or hour:
“How we shall earn our bread is a grave question; yet it is a sweet and inviting question. Let us not shirk it, as is usually done. It is the most important and practical question which is put to man. Let us not answer it hastily. Let us not be content to get our bread in some gross, careless, and hasty manner. Some men go a-hunting, some a-fishing, some a-gaming, some to war; but none have so pleasant a time as they who in earnest seek to earn their bread.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the hour of my distress,
When temptations me oppress,
And when I my sins confess,
Sweet Spirit comfort me!”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
