Son Wesley

Famous quotes containing the words son and/or wesley:

    In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    And am I born to die?
    To lay this body down?
    And must my trembling spirit fly
    Into a world unknown?
    —Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
