Famous quotes containing the words bear, true and/or allegiance:

    But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps; the majesty of these sciences would of itself be venerable enough. But having only imaginary knowledge, they must employ those silly tools that strike the imagination with which they have to deal; and thereby, in fact, they inspire respect.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    A true military officer is in one particular like a true monk. Not with more self-abnegation will the latter keep his vows of monastic obedience than the former his vows of allegiance to martial duty.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
