Sought Adventure

Famous quotes containing the words sought and/or adventure:

    “‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
    Taught my benighted soul to understand
    That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
    Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
    Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
    “Their color is a diabolic die.”
    Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
    May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
    —Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)

    “An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
