Famous quotes containing the word covers:
“Here a pretty Baby lies
Sung asleep with Lullabies:
Pray be silent, and not stirre
Th easie earth that covers her.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 10:12.
“And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.”
—Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340402)
