cease quotes

The atrocious crime of being a young man, which [Walpole] has, with such spirit and decency, charged upon me, I shall neither attempt to palliate nor deny; but content myself with wishing that I may be one of those whose follies cease with their youth, and not of those who continue ignorant in spite of their age and experience.

-William, 1st Earl of Chatham known as  the Elder Pitt
  Speech to the House of Commons, 6 Mar.

O cease! must hate and death return, Cease! must men kill and die? Cease! drain not to its dregs the urn Of bitter prophecy. The world is weary of the past, Oh, might it die or rest at last!

- Percy Bysshe Shelley
  'Hellas', l.1096^101.

[God's] changelessness means that he cannot cease to be what he is, but it does not preclude his doing some new thing to express what he is.

-JohnVincent Taylor
  The Christlike God.
