Famous quotes containing the words treasure and/or fleet:

    “If it were not somewhat fanciful to suppose that every human excellence is presented, as it were, in one kind of being, we might believe that the whole treasure of morality and order is enshrined in the female character.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    “Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,
    Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
    Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
