Common Passport

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or passport:

    When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All are inclined to believe what they covet, from a lottery- ticket up to a passport to Paradise.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
