No one, who is familiar with the bustle and activity of an American commercial town, would recognise, in the repose which now reigns in the ancient mart of Rhode Island, a place that, in it's day, has been ranked amongst the most important ports along the whole line of our extended coast (Repose Quotes)
Led by long years to my last hours, too late, o world, I know your joys for what they are. You promise a peace which is not yours to give and the repose that dies before it is born. The years of fear and shame to which heaven now set a term, renew nothing in me but the old sweet error in which, living overlong a man kills his soul with no gain to his body. I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in heaven whose death falls nearest his birth (Repose Quotes)

Oh! Thou gentle scene of sweet repose; where by th' oblivious draught of each sad toilsome day to peace restor'd. Unhappy mortals lose their woes awhile (Repose Quotes)
What, what is virtue, but repose of mind, a pure ethereal calm, that knows no storm; above the reach of wild ambition's wind, above those passions that this world deform and torture man (Repose Quotes)
Truth is the ground of science, the centre wherein all things repose, and is the type of eternity (Repose Quotes)
There is no mortal truly wise and restless at once; wisdom is the repose of minds (Repose Quotes)
The repose of nations cannot be secure without arms, armies cannot be maintained without pay, nor can the pay be produced without taxes (Repose Quotes)
No farther seek his merits to disclose, or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (there they alike in trembling hope repose, ) the bosom of his father and his God (Repose Quotes)
Hope animates the wise, and lures the presumptuous and indolent who repose inconsiderately on her promises (Repose Quotes)
If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation (Repose Quotes)
I want a sofa, as I want a friend, upon which I can repose familiarly. If you can’t have intimate terms and freedom with one and the other, they are of no good (Repose Quotes)
The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose (Repose Quotes)
Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions (Repose Quotes)
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose (Repose Quotes)
Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art (Repose Quotes)
In 1840 I was called from my farm to undertake the administration of public affairs and I foresaw that I was called to a bed of thorns. I now leave that bed which has afforded me little rest, and eagerly seek repose in the quiet enjoyments of rural life (Repose Quotes)
The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings, and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to senses tried by the present day kaleidoscope of events (Repose Quotes)
A face that is really lovely in repose can fall apart if, when its owner stars to talk, she distorts every feature (Repose Quotes)
In the experimental sciences, the epochs of the most brilliant progress are almost always separated by long intervals of almost absolute repose (Repose Quotes)
A black star appears, a point of darkness in the night sky’s clarity. Point of darkness and gateway to repose. Reach out, pierce the fine fabric of the sheltering sky, take repose (Repose Quotes)
The language of judicial decision is mainly the language of logic. And the logical method and form flatter that longing for certainty and for repose which is in every human mind. But certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man (Repose Quotes)
He stood beneath the white tower, and looked up at it with that mournful expression which his face always carried in repose: for one moment he thought of climbing up its cracked and broken stone, and then from its summit screaming down at the silent city as a child might scream at a chained animal (Repose Quotes)
These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman (Repose Quotes)
Repose, leisure, peace, belong among the elements of happiness. If we have not escaped from harried rush, from mad pursuit, from unrest, from the necessity of care, we are not happy. And what of contemplation? Its very premise is freedom from the fetters of workaday busyness. Moreover, it itself actualizes this freedom by virtue of being intuition (Repose Quotes)
