World Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:

    The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    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)
