Roughly Translates

Famous quotes containing the words roughly and/or translates:

“O that those lips had language! Life has passed
With me but roughly since I heard thee last.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
