World Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:

    “Ah were she pitiful as she is fair,
    Or but as mild as she is seeming so,
    Then were my hopes greater than my despair,
    Then all the world were heaven, nothing woe.”
    —Robert Greene (1558?–1592)

    “Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
