Letitia Elizabeth Landon - The present-the actual-were...

The present-the actual-were they our all-
Too heavy our burthen, too hopeless our thrall;
But heaven, that spreadeth o'er all its blue cope,
Hath given us memory,-hath given us hope! (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

The present-the actual-were they our all- Too heavy our burthen, too hopeless our thrall; But heaven, that spreadeth o'er all its blue cope, Hath given us memory,-hath given us hope!

George Eliot

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

Yves Saint-Laurent

Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven, and you are answerable for, not the rightness, but the uprightness of the decision.
