Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

    Martial, the things for to attain
    The happy life be these, I find:
    The riches left, not got with pain;
    The fruitful ground, the quiet mind;
    The equal friend; no grudge nor strife;
    No charge of rule nor governance;
    Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis)

    It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
    The holy time is quiet as a Nun
    Breathless with adoration;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.
