Quotations for halo

A halo of glory surrounds all true, pure mothers, showing their worthiness to sit upon the steps of the heavenly throne. [ Mrs. E. B. Duffey ]

Whatever of goodness emanates from the soul, gathers its soft halo in the eyes; and if the heart be a lurking place of crime, the eyes are sure to betray the secret. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction assent, an enraged eye makes beauty a deformity; so you see, forsooth, the little organ plays no inconsiderable, if not a dominant, part. [ Frederick Saunders ]
