Famous quotes containing the word january:

    and you undid the reins
    and I undid the buttons,
    the bones, the confusions,
    The New England postcards,
    the January ten o’clock night,
    and we rose up like wheat....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I have never been disappointed when I asked in a humble and sincere way for God’s help. I pray often. I think I pray more often since January 12th.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
