Sweetest

Famous quotes containing the word sweetest:

    To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation’s sweetest dreams of itself.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    Death lies on her like an untimely frost
    Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No more be grieved at that which thou hast done,
    Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,
    Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
    And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
    All men make faults, and even I in this,
    Authorizing thy trespass with compare,
    My self corrupting salving thy amiss,
    Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
