Deserves

Famous quotes containing the word deserves:

“Only that type of story deserves to be called moral that shows us that one has the power within oneself to act, out of the conviction that there is something better, even against one’s own inclination.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“I would be loath to speak ill of any person who I do not know deserves it, but I am afraid he is an attorney.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“I know of one who deserves to be called the Tree-hater, and, perhaps, to leave this for a new patronymic to his children. You would think that he had been warned by an oracle that he would be killed by the fall of a tree, and so was resolved to anticipate them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
