Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Wagner

Man passes; he knows that he is dust; nothing is more evident than his frailty. If he should for a single moment forget it, what a chorus of voices would recall it to him!

In the moments as they pass, he dimly sees eternity, and more than this, he possesses it by anticipation.

Legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. With awe.
