Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or abused:
“What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each others presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“My political enemies I can freely forgive; but as for who abused me when I was serving my country in the field, and those who attacked me for serving my countryDoctor, that is a different case.”
—Andrew Jackson (17671845)
