Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or dog:
“[A] sullen-wise Man is as bad as a good-natured Fool. Knowledge, softened with Complacency and good Breeding, will make a Man equally beloved and respected; but when joined with a severe, distant and unsociable Temper, it creates rather Fear than Love.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“That hour in the life of a man when first the help of humanity fails him, and he learns that in his obscurity and indigence humanity holds him a dog and no man: that hour is a hard one, but not the hardest. There is still another hour which follows, when he learns that in his infinite comparative minuteness and abjectness, the gods do likewise despise him, and own him not of their clan.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
