Farewell Quotations
Farewell, fair cruelty. William Shakespeare It can't be any simpler: the farewell is going to be on the Champs-Elysees. Lance Armstrong Don't be dismayed by good-byes.

Richard Bach Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. J. R. R. Tolkien Memorial Service: Farewell party for someone who already left. Robert Byrne Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness. Hans Urs von Balthasar The peculiar fascination which the South held over my imagination and my limited capital decided me in favor of Atlanta University; so about the last of September I bade farewell to the friends and scenes of my boyhood and boarded a train for the South. James Weldon Johnson 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 Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ. Donald Cargill I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death; a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.
