Dead Roots

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:

    From too much love of living,
    From hope and fear set free,
    We thank with brief thanksgiving
    Whatever gods may be
    That no life lives for ever;
    That dead men rise up never;
    That even the weariest river
    Winds somewhere safe to sea.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    He who sins easily, sins less. The very power
    Renders less vigorous the roots of evil.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
