Farewell quotes and words of wisdom |  | "Don"t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you
can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain
for those who are friends." | |  | Richard David Bach
| | | "Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness! This is the state of
man: today he puts forth The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms, And
bears his blushing honours thick upon him: The third day comes a frost, a
killing frost, And - when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His
greatness is a-ripening - nips his root, And then he falls, as I
do." | | | William Shakespeare
| | | "Good bye, proud world! I"m going home; Thou art not my friend, and
I"m not thine." | | | Ralph Waldo Emerson
| | | "Good-byes breed a sort of distaste for whomever you say good-bye to;
this hurts, you feel, this must not happen again." | | | Elizabeth Bowen
| | | "In farewells we heat above ordinary our affections to the things we
forego." | | | Michel de Montaigne
| | | "My friends: No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling
of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these
people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and
have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born,
and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may
return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon
Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended
him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him
who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good? let us
confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as
I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate
farewell." | | | Abraham Lincoln
| | | "So sweetly she bade me adieu, I thought that she bade me
return." | | | William Shenstone
