Stand Firm

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or firm:

    But you broke into heaven’s immortal store,
    Where virtue, honor, wit, and beauty lay;
    Which taking thence you have escaped away,
    Yet stand as free as ere you did before;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    What if we wake one shimmering morning to
    Hear the fierce hammering
    Of his firm knuckles
    Hard on the door?
    Shall we not shudder?
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
