I will not let thee go. I hold thee by too many bands: Thou sayest farewell, and lo! I have thee by the hands, And will not let thee go.
Robert Seymour Bridges
Man's feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and of farewell.
Jean Paul Richter
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
William Shakespeare
Farewell all relations and friends in Christ; farewell acquaintances and all earthly enjoyments; farewell reading and preaching, praying and believing, wanderings, reproaches, and sufferings.
Donald Cargill
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
Everlasting farewells! and again, and yet again reverberated - everlasting farewells!
Thomas Quincey
It is curious that money, which is the most valuable thing in life, exceptis excipiendis, should be the most fatal corrupter of music, literature, painting and all the arts. As soon as any art is pursued with a view to money, then farewell, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, all hope of genuine good work.
Samuel Butler
That bitter word, which closed all earthly friendships and finished every feast of love farewell!
Robert Pollok
A farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.
Unknown
Let us not unman each other; part at once; all farewells should be sudden, when forever.
Lord Byron
Our evenings are farewells. Our parties are testaments. So that the secret stream of suffering. May warm the cold of life.
Boris Pasternak
In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere. . . . Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.
Marianne Williamson
We are now about to take our leave and kind farewell to our native land, the country the Great Spirit gave our Fathers, we are on the eve of leaving that country that gave us birth, it is with sorrow we are forced by the white man to quit the scenes of our childhood... we bid farewell to it and all we hold dear.
Charles Hicks
