Baggage Master

Famous quotes containing the words baggage and/or master:

“I cannot call Riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“He may have been a master of his fate,
And of his atoms,—ready as another
In his emergence to exonerate
His father and his mother;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
