Ann Warner

Famous quotes containing the words ann and/or warner:

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
    —Charles Dudley Warner (1829–1900)
