Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

    Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

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

    The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
    Cameroonian proverb.
