“He saw her from the bottom of the stairs
Before she saw him.”
Robert Frost (1874–1963) American poet
Home Burial (1915)
Context: He saw her from the bottom of the stairs
Before she saw him. She was starting down,
Looking back over her shoulder at some fear.
She took a doubtful step and then undid it
To raise herself and look again. He spoke
Advancing toward her: "What is it you see
From up there always?—for I want to know."
“The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.”
John Milton (1608–1674) English epic poet

Context: If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him.
Richard Wagner (1813–1883) German composer, conductor
Quotes from his operas, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Hans Sachs, Act 2, Scene 4
Original: (de) Mein Kind, für den ist alles verloren,
und Meister wird der in keinem Land;
denn wer als Meister geboren,
der hat unter Meistern den schlimmsten Stand.
James Dobson (1936) Evangelical Christian psychologist, author, and radio broadcaster.
